Nettleham is a village three miles north of the cathedral city of Lincoln in the East Midlands region of the U.K.

Nestled in a cleft in hills on top of the Lincoln edge Nettleham has a shallow beck flowing through it. The majority of inhabitants seem to be a colony of well fed ducks. Local folklore says the until you have fallen into the beck you are not a true Nettlehamite.

The village centre is made up of cottages built in the local limestone. A village green is the focus. Two large Horse Chestnut trees provide shade in the summer. A monument to the fallen in 2 world wars is there flanked by 2 pubs, The Black Horse and The Plough. A Co-op provides the local food and domestic products. Local businesses include many hair dressers, Opthalmic optician, Paper Shops.

For a small sleepy olde worlde village Nettleham is home to some high technology businesses. These serve the Semiconductor industry, Microwave Component suppliers for Telecoms. More chip shops than you can shake a stick at!

The Bishops Palace is a ruin where the King of England resided during his visits to Lincoln. Lincoln at one time was the capital city of England. It was at this palace that he determined the eldest sons of the monarchy would have the title 'Prince of Wales'.
