Map of the UK

Hoveringham is a small village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, set on the east bank of the River Trent. Its riverside location gives a mix of floodplain meadows, quiet lanes and the legacy of riverside industry - many of the former sand and gravel workings beside the Trent have become lakes and wetlands that shape the local landscape.

Historically the community has been rooted in agriculture and river-related extraction, while today it combines a tranquil village feel with outdoor leisure pursuits such as walking, angling and birdwatching. The settlement retains a strong local identity, with village events and a small handful of amenities, and sits within easy reach of Newark-on-Trent and within commuting distance of Nottingham.
