According to locals, the village has everything it could ever need
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.
"It would be nice to have a butchers but we have the café and there's a lot else here." Alison explained that they are spoilt for choice with local businesses and have so many options "within a nice rural area." She added: "There's a Burton Joyce magazine where everything is announced, and we still get all the advantages of the city yet we get the countryside.
"It's nice at Christmas as they actually close this road and Richard Whitehead turns the lights on for us." Susan added that she also finds it "lovely" at Christmas. Café worker and Burton Joyce resident, Kate Palmer, 51, said: "We are a friendly village, it's a really friendly village to live. When you walk down the river and everybody says hello to you.
"You wouldn't think you were in quite a big village. It's just nice that everyone is really friendly here, it's wonderful. You can walk down to Gunthorpe in 10 minutes, I just love it." Owner of Pooches Dog Grooming, Kelly Todd, 42, opened her business in Burton Joyce at the start of March 2023. She said: "Burton Joyce is a very special place, it's very friendly and very warming to people.
