Muskham is a ward within the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England, lying beside the River Trent and centred on the villages of North Muskham and South Muskham. Its setting is characteristically rural, with patchworks of arable fields and river meadows giving way to a few compact residential clusters rather than continuous urban sprawl.
The local economy still leans on agriculture, though many residents commute to nearby towns such as Newark, Nottingham and Lincoln. The ward’s history as a crossing on the River Trent is visible in old bridges, medieval churches and several listed buildings, while village halls, pubs and regular community events contribute to a close‑knit social life.
