Map of the UK

Laneham is a small, rural parish in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, England, set beside the low-lying meadows of the River Trent and within easy reach of the market town of Retford. The village sits on floodplain country, so the landscape is defined by river channels, drains and flood defences and a strong pattern of arable and pasture farming.

Historically the river has shaped local life through fishing, ferrying and land drainage, and the settlement retains a traditional village feel with a parish church and community activities. Today Laneham remains largely agricultural in character, with many residents commuting to nearby towns while valuing the quiet riverside countryside and local community events.
