Learn more about hotels in Worksop

Worksop, nestled in the county of Nottinghamshire, is a town steeped in a rich and vivid history. The town got its intriguing name from the Anglo-Saxon words 'We(o)rc' (presumably a person's name) and 'hop' meaning valley. You'll find remnants of this storied past scattered around in form of heritage sites such as the Worksop Priory, St. Anne's Church, and St. John's Church.

Historically an agricultural town, Worksop flourished during the 19th century with the discovery of coal. It later transitioned into a service-dominated economy with brewing, manufacturing, and distribution sectors. Its close proximity to bustling cities like Sheffield and Nottingham, combined with tranquil surroundings, lends a unique charm that makes Worksop a delightful getaway.

With a host of historically significant sites such as the priory, which Thomas Wolsey visited in 1640, and Worksop Manor, which briefly served as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots, there's plenty here for history buffs. Meanwhile, nature lovers can find solace in Mr Straw's House and Clumber Park, both preserved and maintained by the National Trust.

When to visit Worksop

Visit Worksop during the inviting British summer months of June, July, and August for ideal weather. These months offer warm and inviting sunshine, providing ample opportunities to explore the delights of Sherwood Forest and immerse yourself in Clumber Park's natural beauty.

If you have a penchant for the white flurries, you may want to schedule your visit for mid-April, which sees the most likelihood for snow. Not a fan of humidity? Visit in May for a relatively drier escape. Remember to pack a windcheater if your visit falls in January, or even December or March, as these months are known for their gusty breezes. Regardless of when you choose to explore this captivating corner of Nottinghamshire, Worksop promises a memorable retreat.
