Dunham-on-Trent sits on the low-lying banks of the River Trent in the district of Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, England. The village and surrounding parish occupy a largely agricultural landscape of arable fields and meadow, with river meadows and floodplain shaping both scenery and local land use; the riverside provides attractive walks and good birdwatching, while occasional flooding is part of life here.
It is a small, tightly knit community with a history stretching back through the medieval period and a handful of attractive listed buildings and a parish church that reflect that past. The local economy remains rooted in farming, though many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Retford and Worksop for work and services; village halls, seasonal events and the riverside setting give the place a quietly rural cultural character.
