Cottam is a small rural parish in the district of Bassetlaw in north Nottinghamshire, England, set in low-lying agricultural country close to the meanders of the River Trent and roughly between the market towns of Retford and Gainsborough.
Its quiet character is defined by farming and scattered settlement, with a compact village core and historic roots stretching back centuries; in more recent decades the landscape and local economy were shaped by the riverside industrial presence of Cottam Power Station, while floodplain habitats nearby support notable birdlife and countryside recreation.
