Otterham is a small, sparsely populated rural parish in north Cornwall, England, lying inland from the north Cornish coast not far from Bude and Boscastle and on the fringes of Bodmin Moor near Camelford. The area is characterised by hedged lanes, small farms, wooded valleys and streams, with scattered hamlets rather than a single large village.
Historically the parish has been agricultural and still retains many stone farmsteads and a medieval parish church, while more recently a few holiday lets and walkers passing through add to the local economy. Social life tends to be quiet and community-focused, with local events centred on the church or village gatherings, and it appeals to those seeking a peaceful base for exploring the coast and moorland nearby.
