Shirebrook sits right on the edge of the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire border, just a few miles north of Mansfield. The town is defined by its industrial roots; it was originally built up around the local colliery, and the legacy of that mining heritage is still evident in the rows of traditional red-brick terraces and the strong sense of community that persists today. Geographically, it’s a practical spot for those who need to get around the East Midlands, with its own station on the Robin Hood Line giving direct rail access to Nottingham and Worksop. Locally, the large market square remains a focal point of daily life, hosting one of the busiest open-air markets in the region. While it has seen significant change since the pit closed in the 1990s - most notably with the massive logistics and distribution hubs that now occupy the old colliery site - it remains a place where you can quickly transition from an urban centre to open countryside, with the trails of Poulter Country Park and the vast expanses of Sherwood Forest virtually on the doorstep.
