Welcome to Linby

Linby is a small village located in the county of Nottinghamshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles north-west of Nottingham city centre and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was first mentioned in historical records. Linby was once a thriving mining community, with coal mining being the main industry in the area. However, the last mine in the village closed in 1988, and since then, Linby has become a peaceful and picturesque place to live.

Despite its small size, Linby has a strong sense of community, and there are several local events and activities that take place throughout the year. The annual Linby Festival is a popular event that brings together residents and visitors alike. The festival features live music, food and drink stalls, and a range of activities for all ages. The village also has a cricket club, a football team, and a bowls club, providing plenty of opportunities for locals to get involved in sports and social activities.

Linby is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are several walking and cycling routes that start in the village. The nearby Sherwood Forest is a popular destination for visitors, and there are several other attractions in the area, including Newstead Abbey, the ancestral home of Lord Byron. The village is also well-connected, with easy access to the M1 motorway and regular bus services to Nottingham and other nearby towns and cities. Overall, Linby is a charming and welcoming village that offers a peaceful and relaxed way of life.
