Beckingham is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, England, set amid low-lying arable land and river washlands. The nearby Beckingham Marshes and proximity to the River Trent give the area a patchwork of wetland habitats and farmland, making it notable for birdlife and seasonal floods on the surrounding plain.
Historically agricultural, the village retains a traditional feel with a parish church, village hall and a pub acting as local hubs; many residents commute to larger market towns such as Retford and Gainsborough for work and services. Community events and conservation-minded land use around the marshes help keep a strong local identity alongside the quieter rhythms of rural life.
