Winkburn is a very small rural civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, England, set in gently undulating farmland a short distance from the market towns of Newark and Southwell. The landscape is typical lowland Nottinghamshire countryside, with hedged fields, pockets of woodland and a scattering of farm buildings rather than a large nucleated village, giving the area a quiet, secluded feel.
Its identity is closely tied to a historic country house and estate at the core of the parish, and the local economy is dominated by agriculture and country estate management, with many residents commuting to nearby towns. Social life tends to revolve around neighbouring villages and market towns, while the parish’s history reflects the long continuity of rural England - landed estates, a small church presence and the rhythms of seasonal farming. Proximity to the broader Sherwood area adds a touch of regional heritage without making the parish a tourist hotspot.
