Ompton is a small, quietly rural civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, in Nottinghamshire, England. It sits in gently rolling countryside on the fringe of the famous woodlands of the county, with a landscape of mixed arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of ancient woodland that make it popular with walkers, riders and anyone after a peaceful stretch of Nottinghamshire countryside.
The community is tiny and predominantly agricultural, with a handful of traditional farms and stone cottages rather than any significant commercial centre; many residents commute to nearby towns such as Mansfield and Newark-on-Trent. Historic roots run deep here, reflected in the layout of lanes and field patterns, and the area is valued for its quiet rural character and local heritage rather than any major tourist attractions.
