Whatton-in-the-Vale in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, England is a small rural village set on the gentle farmland of the Vale of Belvoir, a short drive from the market town of Bingham and within easy commuting distance of Nottingham. The settlement keeps a traditional character of stone cottages, a parish church and lanes framed by hedged fields, and lies close to neighbouring Aslockton which provides the nearest rail link.
