A pretty red-brick village that boasts a couple of pubs, a small Co-op and a village bakery, if you are in need refreshment or supplies. To the north is the former Southwell to Mansfield railway line, which has since been converted into the Southwell Trail for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. To the south is a memorial to a Halifax bomber that crashed here in 1944, killing all on board.

Eakring Flash

Highlight • Lake

A large pond with a dead tree sticking right out the middle of it! Apparently this ground sunk because a mine beneath it collapsed and then filled up with water, causing the pond.

Eakring Windmill

Highlight • Other

If you're seeking refreshment, The Saville Arms represents the last remaining pub in the village of Eakring – there used to be seven! The Daffodil Tearoom is also a delicious option.

Interestingly, Eakring was once the largest on-shore oil field in Britain, after the precious resource was discovered here in 1939. Though today the oil is spent, Eakring maintains its charm thanks to distinctive red-roofed houses, its five-storey brick windmill and the friendly locals.
