Saxondale is a small civil parish in the borough of Rushcliffe, in Nottinghamshire, England, lying just to the south‑east of Nottingham and close to the junction of the A52 and A46. The landscape is broadly rural - a patchwork of arable fields, hedgerows and small copses - but its proximity to main roads gives it a commuter‑friendly edge alongside traditional farming.
The parish is perhaps best known for the site of the former Saxondale Hospital, whose buildings and grounds have shaped the local layout and attracted redevelopment interest. With a small, largely residential population, community life feels quietly close‑knit, driven more by countryside activities and links into nearby towns than by any substantial commercial centre.
