Stoke Bardolph is a small, quiet village tucked into a sweeping bend of the River Trent, about five miles east of Nottingham. It is a place defined largely by its relationship with the water and the surrounding agricultural land, with the Riverside path offering a direct walking route toward Netherfield Lagoons and Holme Pierrepont. Historically, the village name originates from the Bardolf family, who held the manor in the 12th century, though today it is perhaps best known locally for its sprawling allotment gardens and the ferry point that once connected it to Shelford. Much of the land in and around the village is owned by Severn Trent, which manages the nearby works and vast areas of estate farmland, keeping the settlement’s footprint compact and preventing significant modern sprawl. Life here tends to center around the riverfront and the local pub, the Ferry Boat Inn, with the landscape providing a sense of open space and rural stillness that feels surprisingly removed from the city's edge.
