The privately owned Annesley Hall is a grade two listed building, once owned by the powerful Chaworth-Musters family and has connections to the Byron family of nearby Newstead Abbey. Annesley Old Church was mentioned by Lord Byron and D. H. Lawrence, two literary figures of importance who lived in Nottinghamshire.

The Misk Hills lie to the south of the village. Annesley is part of Nottinghamshires Hidden Valleys area. The parish is grouped with the neighbouring parish of Felley (pop 4) to elect a joint parish council. The village primary school is on Forest Road in Annesley Woodhouse. There is a library in Annesley Woodhouse church hall on Skegby Road which is open three days a week.

The village is situated on the busy A611 for Mansfield near junction 27 of the M1. Nearby to the south is the roundabout with the A608, which is now a thoroughfare to the large Sherwood Park Enterprise Zone.

It was once connected to Nottingham by rail, until Annesley railway station closed in 1953.
