Maplebeck is a small, rural parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, England, known for a compact cluster of traditional stone cottages and farmsteads set within an agricultural landscape of hedgerows and rolling fields. Its historic parish church and carefully preserved village character give the place a quiet, conservation-minded feel that attracts walkers and those seeking countryside tranquillity.
Economically the area remains largely shaped by farming, with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work, while socially the village sustains an active community life centred on local events, the village hall and small-scale cultural gatherings; its blend of historic fabric and contemporary village life makes it a pleasant example of a living Nottinghamshire rural settlement.
