Fiskerton is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Fiskerton cum Morton, in the Newark and Sherwood district, in the county of Nottinghamshire, England. It is on the west bank of the River Trent about 3 miles southeast of Southwell. The waterfront is home to million-pound residential properties,[1] previously residences of merchants and businessmen who commuted in the 1800s to nearby Nottingham by rail from Fiskerton Station.[2] In 1881 the parish had a population of 283.[3]
The village's location beside the Trent attracts walkers, picnickers and casual visitors in summer,[4] centred on the riverside pub/restaurant (was called the Bromley Arms, renamed as The Bromley at Fiskerton in 2014)[5][6] and used as a friendly café-type base also serving snacks and refreshments.
