Gotham, Civil parish and village in Nottinghamshire, England.
Gotham is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, England, located within the Rushcliffe district. It consists of traditional English houses, farmland, and open spaces arranged around a modest village center.
During World War II, signage bearing the village name was removed as a precaution against enemy forces identifying the location. This security measure reflected broader defensive strategies used across the region.
Medieval tales describe villagers who pretended to be foolish to stop a king from building a royal road through their settlement. These stories remain central to how the place is known and remembered locally.
The village is accessible by car through local roads with limited roadside parking available. Visitors should note that amenities are sparse in the settlement itself, with most services found in larger nearby towns.
The Cuckoo Bush Mound is a Neolithic burial site linked to local folklore about villagers attempting to trap a cuckoo bird. This ancient monument connects early prehistory to the later traditions of the place.
