Church Plantation is a small village located in the county of Nottinghamshire, England. Situated within the Sherwood Forest district, it is known for its picturesque woodland setting and serene environment. The village is named after the nearby Church Plantation Wood, which covers a significant portion of the area.

Covering an approximate area of 2 square miles, Church Plantation is home to a close-knit community of around 500 residents. The village is primarily residential, with a few local amenities such as a village hall and a small convenience store catering to the needs of its inhabitants. The village is well-connected to the surrounding areas through a network of country lanes and roads.

Station Avenue This is the road between Newstead Abbey and Newstead Station. It is all private land and there is a barrier preventing vehicles being able to get through without authorisation. However it is also part of National Cycle Network route 6, which comes this way on its journey from London to the Lake District.
