Blidworth

Blidworth, situated about five miles east of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England, is a charming village with a rich history dating back to the 10th century. The village and civil parish had a population of 4,457 during the 2011 census, slightly decreasing to 4,295 in 2021. The older part of Blidworth, centered around Main Street and the church, showcases historic architecture, giving visitors a glimpse into the village's past. Many of the residences in the area were constructed in the early 20th century to accommodate employees of the now-closed Blidworth Colliery (1926–1989), predominantly in the estates to the north of Dale Lane. Beyond the village boundaries lies Blidworth Bottoms, a quaint hamlet located approximately half a kilometer south of Blidworth. Haywood Oaks, positioned to the south of Dale Lane, along with the rural area surrounding Haywood Oaks Lane in the southeast part of the parish, further contribute to the diverse landscape of Blidworth.
