Get-connected means having the benefits of an ideal business location without the costs associated with other parts of the UK.

You are at the heart of the country, situated on the M1 directly between the cities of Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield.

The District has an excellent range of business sites and accommodation set in an attractive working environment. Add to this the availability of financial assistance and Ashfield provides you with a distinct competitive advantage.

It is not one feature but a number that makes Ashfield such a unique and enjoyable place. Attractive open countryside surrounds the main towns providing excellent leisure and recreational opportunities. Ashfield people are renowned for being open and friendly and the range of housing available will satisfy your requirements.

Ashfield has a rich natural heritage comprising a range of attractive conservation areas. A number of award winning urban and country parks are accessible to all. Several rural villages lie within Ashfield's attractive open countryside, each village boasting their local traditions, cultures and architecture. Ashfield is also ideally located for quick access to Nottingham, Sheffield, Sherwood Forest, Newstead Abbey and the Peak District National Park.

The District possesses an enviable cultural history thanks to such names as Lord Byron, D. H. Lawrence and Eric Coates, complemented by a fascinating industrial heritage. There is a constant programme of events and activities to suit all ages and tastes, throughout the year.

If shopping is more your bag, then Nottingham is one of the most popular retail centres in the UK and Sheffield's Meadowhall Shopping Centre is only 30 minutes away by car. And when it comes to nightlife, it's hard to beat Nottingham and Sheffield for bars, restaurants, clubs and theatres, which are all accessible via tram or train.
