Saxondale, Nottinghamshire
Coordinates: 52°57′07″N 0°59′10″W / 52.952°N 0.986°W
Saxondale is a small hamlet in the Rushcliffe borough of Nottinghamshire, England, situated just off the A52 road near to its junction with the A46 road at the Saxondale roundabout. There is evidence of an Anglo-Saxon fort with earthworks visible from the main road.
The village is just south of the Nottingham to Grantham railway line where there is still evidence of a spur, known as the Barnstone branch, from the former Saxondale Junction through present-day Bingham to Melton Mowbray. The hamlet is close to the residential area of Upper Saxondale, a redevelopment of the former Saxondale Hospital site.
