WELCOME TO THORESBY VALE
A SUSTAINABLE NEW COMMUNITY IN THE HEART OF SHERWOOD FOREST
A SUSTAINABLE NEW COMMUNITY
Thoresby Vale is one of the most ambitious and exciting regeneration projects in the Midlands, set within the breathtaking landscape of Sherwood Forest – a place rich in natural beauty and legendary heritage.
Located on the former Thoresby Colliery site, this 450-acre development is being transformed by Harworth into a vibrant, sustainable new community. Once a symbol of the region’s industrial past, Thoresby Vale is now leading the way in shaping its future – with plans for around 800 new homes, a village centre, new forest school, employment space, and extensive areas of parkland and green infrastructure including Thoresby Vale Country Park which opened in 2024.
Inspired by its surroundings – from ancient woodland to the nearby Thoresby Park and Clumber Park – Thoresby Vale has been designed to blend seamlessly into its environment. The development will offer a diverse range of homes to suit families, first-time buyers, professionals, and those looking to downsize, all within a setting that celebrates outdoor living and natural connection.
With miles of walking and cycling trails, nature reserves, and green open spaces on your doorstep, life at Thoresby Vale means embracing a healthier, more active lifestyle – while being part of a community that puts people and the planet first.
Key historical features, including elements of the former colliery, will be sensitively integrated into the masterplan to create meaningful community spaces and celebrate the area’s heritage. A new country park, improved access routes, and sustainable travel connections will link the development to nearby Edwinstowe and beyond.
Thoresby Vale is more than just a place to live – it’s a place to grow, connect, and thrive.
