Willoughby-on-the-Wolds is a small, gently elevated village and civil parish in the Rushcliffe district of Nottinghamshire, England, sitting on the Nottinghamshire Wolds with open views across the Vale of Belvoir. The setting gives it a distinctly rural feel - rolling farmland, stone and brick cottages, and a compact village core that has retained a number of historic buildings and a parish church.
Traditionally agricultural, the village now mixes farming with residents who commute to nearby centres such as Nottingham or Melton Mowbray, and it maintains an active local life with a village hall, occasional fetes and community groups. Its quiet lanes and outlook across the Vale make it appealing to walkers and anyone after a peaceful slice of the English Wolds.
