The twin communities of New Ollerton and Ollerton sit in the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England. Ollerton has the older, village character while New Ollerton grew up in the 20th century as housing associated with the coal industry, so the area mixes industrial heritage with its location close to Sherwood Forest.
Since the decline of mining the local economy has diversified into retail, light industry and commuting to nearby centres such as Nottingham and Mansfield, and community life is supported by local clubs and facilities; nearby attractions like Thoresby Hall and the surrounding woodland make the area popular for walkers and family outings.
