Bottisham sits in East Cambridgeshire, in the county of Cambridgeshire, England, a few miles east of Cambridge and to the north of the River Cam towards Ely. The area is typical fen‑edge countryside with arable fields, ditches and reedbeds, and nearby reserves such as Wicken Fen make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
The village has deep roots - its medieval church and the Second World War airfield at RAF Bottisham are local historic features - and the 20th‑century village college acts as a cultural and social hub. Today it combines a commuter population linked to Cambridge with an agricultural economy, local shops and pubs, and a steady programme of community events centred on the college and village organisations.
