Stanton on the Wolds is a small village and civil parish in the Rushcliffe district of Nottinghamshire, England, sitting on the gently rolling slopes of the local Wolds a few miles south of Nottingham. The name “Stanton” reflects its Old English roots, roughly meaning a stony farm or settlement, and the village retains a rural character with limestone cottages and a compact historic core.
Today the parish is largely agricultural with a significant number of residents commuting into nearby towns, and it benefits from local footpaths and countryside walks that attract walkers and birdwatchers. Community life is quiet but active, centred on parish meetings, occasional village events and the traditional social fabric you find in small Nottinghamshire villages such as Keyworth.
