Cotterstock sits in North Northamptonshire, England, tucked on the banks of the River Nene a short drive from the market town of Oundle and within easy reach of Peterborough. The settlement has a quietly picturesque waterside character, with a mix of stone and brick cottages, a small parish church with medieval origins and the country house Cotterstock Hall; quiet lanes and riverside footpaths make it popular with walkers and anglers.
Historically the village grew up around the manor and church and retains a strong rural feel, with agriculture and local small businesses still important and many residents commuting to nearby towns for work. Community life centres on the village hall and occasional local events, and there is an evident local interest in conserving Cotterstock’s historic buildings and riverside landscape.
