Spalford is a very small, largely rural civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England. The settlement is characterised by scattered farms and cottages set in flat, fertile countryside on the floodplain of the River Trent, with much of the local landscape given over to arable fields and seasonal flood meadows.
Its history and economy have long been tied to agriculture and land drainage, and the parish retains a quiet, close‑knit feel rather than any urban centre - residents rely on nearby Newark and surrounding villages for most services. The area is appreciated by walkers and birdwatchers for its open skies, wetland habitats and sense of unhurried rural life.
