Harby is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, in north Nottinghamshire, England. It sits amid open agricultural countryside a short drive from larger market towns such as Newark, and has the compact feel of a traditional English village with a mix of older stone and brick cottages clustered around a parish church and village green.

Locally the community is quietly active, with village events, a hall and clubs that help keep a close-knit social life; economically the area remains largely agricultural while many residents commute to nearby towns and cities like Nottingham. Harby’s character is defined by its historic buildings, country lanes and easy access to walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside, which together make it appealing to visitors and those seeking a rural lifestyle within reach of services.
