Retford Made Simple
Retford is a handsome market town in north Nottinghamshire where the A1 passes just to the east, giving good road access while keeping the worst through-traffic away from the town centre. Carolgate and the market square have narrow Georgian streets that need careful navigation, and the East Coast Main Line level crossing can add delays.

Moving in Retford
Retford (also known as East Retford) is a market town in north Nottinghamshire, about 25 miles north of Newark and 30 miles south-east of Sheffield. The A1 runs just east of the town, giving fast north-south access.
The town centre is one of the finest Georgian townscapes in Nottinghamshire, with Carolgate and the market square lined with Georgian buildings. The streets here are narrow with limited parking, especially on Thursday and Saturday market days. The conservation area restricts some access.
The East Coast Main Line crosses Retford on a level crossing at Northgate. The barriers come down regularly for high-speed trains between London and Edinburgh, and the delays can be 5–10 minutes each time. If your move route crosses the railway, plan for these delays.
Ordsall to the south and Clayworth to the north are residential areas with a mix of housing. Babworth and Ranby to the south-east are villages on the A1 corridor.
The A1 junction with the A620 gives access to the town. The A620 heads west to Worksop (about 8 miles). The A638 connects to Doncaster to the north.
Rates start from £19 per hour. Add full postcodes and access details.
