Residents who love living in their 'friendly village' say they are not surprised that it's been ranked one of the best places to live in Nottinghamshire. According to a recent poll by Muddy Stilettos, Burton Joyce is one of the eight top places to live in the county, but is also the only village to make it onto the list.
Burton Joyce is known for its close proximity to the River Trent, and according to locals, the village has everything it could ever need, with plenty of independent businesses, such as cafés, greengrocers, pubs, a GP surgery and three pubs. The village also has great travel links, with a number of bus stops and it's own train station, allowing residents to get to Nottingham in around 20 minutes.
If that wasn't enough, Burton Joyce is also the hometown of beloved actor Matthew Horne, best known for Gavin and Stacey, as well as the hometown of actress Sherrie Hewson, best known for Coronation Street and Benidorm.
