Averham is a small, mainly rural village and civil parish in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire, England, set close to the banks of the River Trent and just a short drive from Newark-on-Trent. Its position beside the river and near neighbouring settlements such as Kelham and Staythorpe gives it a mix of tranquil riverside scenery and easy links to larger towns; the nearby Staythorpe power facilities and local transport routes mean the area is part rural community and part commuter hinterland.

Locally there is a strong sense of history and village life: the area contains several historic buildings and a traditional village atmosphere, while nearby Kelham Hall provides a notable architectural and cultural landmark. Agriculture remains important, but the community also benefits from visitors drawn to the Trent’s riverside walks and the contrast between peaceful countryside and the grand country houses and industrial heritage close by.
