Eakring is a small rural village in the district of Newark and Sherwood, in Nottinghamshire, England. It sits on rolling agricultural land and limestone ridges typical of this part of the county, with easy access to oak woodlands and remnants of the famous Sherwood Forest landscape, making it popular for walkers and wildlife watchers looking for a quiet, pastoral setting.
The village has medieval roots and retains the feel of a traditional farming community, but it is best known for its surprising role in the Second World War when an onshore oilfield and associated wartime infrastructure were developed nearby; today there are memorials and information for those interested in industrial archaeology and local history. Local life remains centred on agriculture and small-scale community activities, with pleasant lanes and footpaths linking the scattered houses and historic buildings.
