Kings Clipstone is a small, quiet parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, in eastern England, set within the rolling farmland and fragments of ancient woodland that edge the historic Sherwood Forest. Its landscape is notable for the earthworks and remains of a medieval royal hunting lodge and deer park, reminders of its role in the royal forest economy and itinerant medieval court.
Today the community is typically rural and agricultural in character, with a small population and few amenities, though the area’s history and proximity to former coal‑mining sites such as Clipstone Colliery and towns like Mansfield mean many residents commute for work; the mix of heritage, quiet countryside and nearby industrial landmarks gives the parish a distinctive local identity.
