White Post is a small rural hamlet in the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England. Set among arable fields and fragments of mixed woodland on the edge of the Sherwood Forest landscape, it is the sort of quiet settlement that grew up around a roadside marker - its name probably referring to a white-painted post used for wayfinding or to mark parish boundaries in earlier centuries.
Its character is agricultural and residential rather than commercial, with local life tied to farming, nearby market towns and the heritage of the district; many residents travel to places such as Newark-on-Trent for services and work. The hamlet’s modest group of cottages and farms sits within a region whose layers of history - medieval markets, country estates and the Robin Hood associations of Sherwood - give the area a strong local identity despite its small size.
