Elston is a small rural village in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, England, lying a few miles west of Newark-on-Trent. Set amid arable countryside and hedgerow-lined lanes, it has a compact feel of cottages, farmsteads and a handful of historic buildings and is within easy commuting distance of Nottingham and nearby market towns.
The village is best known locally for Elston Hall, a private country house with long local associations and historic links to the Darwin family, and for its parish church and several listed buildings that reflect an agricultural past. Community life is typical of small Nottinghamshire villages: farming still shapes the landscape and economy, while village events and a close-knit social scene attract people who want a quieter, historic rural lifestyle with urban amenities not far away.
