Kersall is a very small, rural civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, in Nottinghamshire, England. It sits amid gently rolling arable farmland and pasture typical of the northern part of the county, with a handful of dwellings and farmsteads rather than a defined village centre; the landscape has strong links to nearby woodlands and the wider Sherwood Forest area.
Economically the parish remains dominated by agriculture and smallholdings, while socially it is quiet and community-minded, often sharing services and events with neighbouring villages and market towns such as Newark and Mansfield. The place name is of Old English origin and the area shows continuity of rural settlement over many centuries, with historic farm buildings and field patterns still reflecting that past.
