Fernwood is a village and civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire, England. The parish, which then included Balderton, had a population of 10,298 in 2001.[1] It is a suburb of Newark-on-Trent. The population of the civil parish was given as 2,190 in the 2011 census,[2] Balderton by that time was a separate civil parish. Fernwood itself increased to 3,054 at the 2021 census.
Modern Fernwood expansion has taken place on the site of the old Balderton Hospital which closed in 1993, with street names based on names of former hospital wards and employees.[3] [4] [5]
Following years of planning, preparatory work was started in 2023 to create an extension and bypass-link from the A1 road near Fernwood, via Middlebeck to the A46 at Farndon.[6] [7]
