Awsworth is a small, linear village sitting on the western edge of Nottinghamshire, tucked between the larger neighbours of Ilkeston and Kimberley. It owes much of its layout to its industrial past; look closely and you can still trace the route of the old Nottingham Canal and the railway lines that once served the local collieries. The most striking landmark is undoubtedly the Bennerley Viaduct, a rare wrought-iron "iron giant" that spans the Erewash Valley and provides a high-level walking route with views across the county border into Derbyshire. Today, the village maintains a quiet, self-contained feel centered around the primary school, the local pub, and the parish church. While it feels somewhat removed from the urban bustle, its geography is defined by its proximity to the A610 and the M1, and it’s a short trip down the hill to Giltbrook for major retail outlets or to phoenix Park for the tram into Nottingham city centre. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find well-established footpaths leading straight out into the more rugged landscape of the Erewash Valley.
