Map of the UK

Kirton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, in rural Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands of England. It sits within an agricultural landscape and is within easy reach of the market town of Newark-on-Trent and the broad sweep of the River Trent, which have long shaped local trade and transport.

Historically the settlement has simple medieval roots and retains traditional farmhouses and a parish church, while today the local economy is still heavily influenced by agriculture alongside commuters who travel to nearby towns. Community life tends to centre on village events, a village hall and local pubs, giving Kirton the character of a small, close-knit rural community rather than a tourist destination.
