Straddling the ridge between the Erewash and Maun valleys, Selston is a significant linear village with roots stretching back to the Domesday Book. Once a key hub for the Nottinghamshire coalfield, it has evolved into a quiet residential base that retains a strong sense of its own identity separate from the nearby urban sprawl. It is arguably best known for the site of Selston Old Church and the nearby 'hidden' ruins of Beauvale Priory, which hint at its medieval prominence. Geographically, it occupies a convenient spot for those who work in Nottingham, Derby, or Mansfield, with the M1 motorway accessible just down the hill at Pinxton. Despite this connectivity, the landscape remains surprisingly green; the surrounding countryside is criss-crossed by ancient footpaths and bridleways, offering expansive views over the Derbyshire hills to the west. Life here tends to centre on the local shops along the main thoroughfare and the historic pubs, like the 13th-century Bull & Butcher, which have served the parish for generations.
