The District of Mansfield is a largely urban area situated in the northwest of Nottinghamshire populated by 99,600 residents, the vast majority of whom live in Mansfield (including Mansfield Woodhouse), with Market Warsop a secondary centre, and the remainder in the rural north of the district. Adjacent to the urban area of Sutton in Ashfield, Mansfield is the only major sub-regional centre in Nottinghamshire covering an area of 30 square miles (78 sq km).

Historically, the district has been influenced heavily by its industrial past with coal mining and textiles thriving in the district until their decline in the 1990s, but in common with the national economy the area has seen the decline of these sectors.

The district was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, being a merger of the former Municipal Borough of Mansfield, combined with the nearby urban districts of Mansfield Woodhouse and Warsop.

Settlements in the district include Mansfield itself, where the council is based, together with Mansfield Woodhouse, Forest Town (redirected to the town of Mansfield) and parts of Pleasley (redirected to Bolsover), with Warsop and Meden Vale (redirected to Warsop) beyond an area of open countryside. The district is entirely unparished apart from Warsop, which retains a parish council.

Pleasley is a small village in between the nearby towns of Chesterfield and Mansfield. It is 8 km south east of Bolsover, Derbyshire and 4 km northwest of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The River Meden which forms the county boundary in this area runs through the village.

The bulk of the village is in the Derbyshire district of Bolsover, and constitutes a civil parish of the same name. The population of this civil parish at the 2011 Census was 2,305. The part in Nottinghamshire is in the district of Mansfield and is unparished. Pleasley is not mentioned in the Domesday Book when it was part of Glapwell parish.
