The village of Eakring sits in the rural district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England. It is a small, largely agricultural settlement surrounded by arable fields and pockets of ancient woodland associated with Sherwood Forest, with a historic core centred on St Andrew's Church and traditional cottages; an unusual chapter in its history is the discovery of oil beneath the farmland during the Second World War, when local extraction contributed to the national war effort.
Today the community remains compact and villagey, with farming still prominent alongside a few local businesses and residents who commute to Nottingham or nearby towns; village activities, a hall and conservation-minded initiatives reflect the rural character. That mixture of quiet countryside, wartime heritage and active local life makes Eakring an understated but distinctive spot in Nottinghamshire.
