Rainworth lies in the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England, set where mixed farmland and pockets of ancient woodland meet the former Nottinghamshire coalfield. The village sits close to the edge of Sherwood Forest, and its layout and growth were shaped in the 20th century by coal mining and associated housing; remnants of that industrial past still influence the landscape and local identity.
Today Rainworth is largely residential with local shops, community centres and sports clubs, and many residents commute to nearby towns such as Mansfield and cities like Nottingham. There is a strong community feel, with social and volunteer groups keeping local traditions and events alive while light industry, retail and service employment have replaced much of the old mining economy.
