Syerston is a small civil parish in Nottinghamshire, about six miles south-west of Newark-on-Trent, and is bisected by the A46 trunk road. It contained 179 inhabitants in seventy-three households as reported by the 2011 census, the count has since fallen to 169 residents at the 2021 census,[1] which are almost all in a settlement to the east of the road.[2] The parish is bounded on the north-east by Elston, on the south-east by Flintham and to the east by Sibthorpe. Its southern boundary is the supposed pre-historic trackway called Longhedge Lane.
The Highways Agency constructed in 2011/12 a new seventeen miles long two-lane dual carriageway from the A606 two level junction at Widmerpool to an improved roundabout at Farndon. This passes through the parish between the old A46, which is thought to follow the line of the old Roman Fosse Way, and the settlement of Syerston.
RAF Syerston is almost all in Flintham parish, immediately to the south of Syerston parish and to the west of the A46 trunk road.
