Widmerpool is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, England, set in gently rolling farmland a short drive from Nottingham. The settlement is centred on a notable country house, Widmerpool Hall, and the remains of a rural community shaped by agriculture and 19th–20th century estate life; the village also had a small railway station in the past, reminders of its links to wider transport routes.
Today Widmerpool retains a quiet, close‑knit character popular with walkers and commuters who value the countryside within reach of regional roads and rail. Local life revolves around the village church, occasional community events and the surrounding farmland, giving it a strong sense of history and rural identity despite its proximity to urban centres.
