Linby is a small, quiet village tucked away about seven miles north of Nottingham city centre, sitting right on the edge of the historic Sherwood Forest. It’s perhaps best known locally for its unique streetscape, where two clear water streams, known as the Linby Docks, run openly along the main street. The village has a distinct architectural character, defined largely by limestone cottages and two ancient stone crosses - the Top Cross and the Bottom Cross - which hint at its medieval roots. While it feels secluded, it is practically positioned for those needing to commute, with the shops and amenities of Hucknall just a short distance away and the M1 nearby. Life here tends to revolve around the village green and the local pub, the Horse and Groom, while the surrounding countryside is criss-crossed by well-maintained walking routes, including the old railway lines that have been converted into trails for cyclists and walkers.
