West Markham is a small, rural civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, England. Set amid rolling arable fields and hedgerows, it is sparsely settled rather than nucleated, with medieval roots and remnants of older settlement patterns visible in local earthworks and field layouts.
The local economy is largely agricultural, while many residents travel to nearby market towns such as Retford for services and work; community life is closely linked to neighbouring villages and the parish council, giving it a quiet, close-knit rural character popular with walkers and those seeking a peaceful countryside base.
