Normanton on Soar is a small, picturesque village and civil parish in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, sitting low on the floodplain of the River Soar. Its riverside setting, winding lanes and a number of traditional cottages give it a very rural, conservation-area feel; the surrounding meadows and waterways are attractive to walkers, birdwatchers and occasional boaters in summer.
The community is compact and largely agricultural in character, with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work. The village has medieval roots and a historic parish church, St James' Church, at its heart, and retains a reputation for being close‑knit with a modest range of local events and amenities rather than any large-scale industry.
