Bentinck Town is a small residential area located in the county of Nottinghamshire, East Midlands, England. Situated approximately 4 miles northwest of the city of Nottingham, it falls within the district of Ashfield.

The town is named after the iconic Bentinck family, who were prominent landowners in the area during the 19th century. It is believed that the town was established to accommodate the growing workforce of the nearby Bentinck Colliery, which was an important coal mining site during the Industrial Revolution.

Bentinck Town primarily consists of rows of terraced houses, which were built during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to house the workers and their families. The architectural style of the houses reflects the period in which they were constructed, with red-brick facades and small front gardens.

Today, Bentinck Town retains its residential character, offering a quiet and close-knit community for its residents. The town benefits from its proximity to Nottingham, providing easy access to the city's amenities and employment opportunities. Additionally, the nearby M1 motorway ensures convenient connections to other parts of the country.

While there may not be many commercial establishments within Bentinck Town itself, residents can find a range of shops, schools, and services in the surrounding areas. The town is also located close to several green spaces, including Bentinck Park, providing recreational opportunities for residents.

St Wilfrid's Park I think the route only has this name because of houses which have been built to the right which require this road as access. It follows the line of a former railway.
