Ruddington is a large village and civil parish in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, about four miles south of Nottingham in England. It sits on the city’s southern fringe amid farmland and green belt, with a well-preserved historic centre of 18th- and 19th-century cottages that reflect its former framework‑knitting and agricultural economy; many residents now commute to the city while independent shops, pubs and small businesses sustain a lively local high street.
The area is noted for its transport and industrial heritage - the preserved depot of the Great Central Railway and the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre draw enthusiasts and occasional steam services - and for easy access to green spaces such as Rushcliffe Country Park and a network of footpaths. Active community groups, regular events and a conservation area help maintain a strong village identity despite being so close to the urban centre.
