Nearby Bingham is a small thriving market town having an extensive range of amenities/professional services and high grade schooling for all age ranges. The main amenities are grouped

around a traditional market square, with the focal point of the Old Buttercross and a small shopping precinct in Eaton Place where there is also a health centre and a library. Bingham has

thriving primary/junior schooling and Toot Hill School offers a high standard of secondary education, with a successful sports/leisure centre close to hand. From Bingham, there is a direct rail

link into Nottingham to the west and into Grantham to the east, the latter having access to the Al road network and a fast direct rail service into London Kings Cross.

The village lies within the local catchment of a highly rated primary school (with a nursery/pre-school) in the neighbouring village of Flintham, also home of the Boot and Shoe inn. Independent

junior schooling is also available at Highfields in Newark and there is a local bus service to the girls and boys grammar schools in Grantham and the Nottingham High Schools.

Newark on Trent, a larger market town, offers an extensive range of amenities, professional services, restaurants and leisure activities. The regional centres of Nottingham and Lincoln are accessible by

road and rail and there is direct access to the A1. From Newark Northgate station there is a fast rail link into London Kings Cross in a scheduled journey time of 80/90 minutes – or thereabouts.
