Broxtowe, Borough district in Nottinghamshire, England

Broxtowe extends west of Nottingham city, containing four main towns including Beeston, Stapleford, Kimberley, and Eastwood within its boundaries.

The district emerged from the restructuring of local government in 1974, incorporating sections of Beeston, Stapleford Urban District, Eastwood Urban District, and Basford Rural District.

The D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum in Eastwood preserves the early environment of the renowned author, reflecting the industrial heritage of the region.

The administrative center operates from Beeston, managing services for approximately 112,113 residents across nine civil parishes and multiple unparished areas.

The Attenborough Nature Reserve within Broxtowe provides extensive wetland habitats, supporting diverse bird populations and offering walking trails through former gravel pits.
