Halloughton is a very small, rural civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England, lying in gently rolling farmland a short distance from the market town of Southwell and within easy reach of Newark and Nottingham. Its setting feels quietly agricultural and pastoral, with lanes, hedgerows and scattered farmsteads rather than a large village centre.
Historically the area has deep rural roots with a number of older farm buildings and cottages hinting at medieval and post‑medieval settlement, while today the local economy is dominated by agriculture and small‑scale rural enterprises and many residents commute to nearby towns. The parish appeals to those seeking a peaceful country lifestyle but with ready access to attractions such as Southwell Minster and the recreational landscapes of Sherwood Forest.
