Bottisham is a compact village in East Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Fens about seven miles east of Cambridge and a few miles south of Ely. The landscape is typically fenland - broad skies, rich arable fields and a network of drains and lodes - with nearby wetland interest such as the reserve at Wicken Fen, making it appealing for walkers and birdwatchers.
The village mixes a strong local community feel with commuter links to Cambridge: agriculture remains important but many residents work in the city or the regional science and tech sectors. Cultural life centres on the long‑standing Bottisham Village College, which doubles as a community hub for sport and drama, and the village retains historic touches and wartime legacy from the former RAF Bottisham airfield now repurposed for light industry and small businesses.
