A picturesque Trent Valley village famous for its plum orchards, friendly community, and excellent rail connections to Nottingham.
Heritage
Lowdham is famous throughout Nottinghamshire for its plum orchards, which have been cultivated here since Victorian times. The annual Lowdham Plum Festival celebrates this heritage each September.
The village has ancient origins, recorded in the Domesday Book. The arrival of the railway in 1846 connected Lowdham to Nottingham and Newark, enabling its fruit to reach wider markets.
Today, Lowdham retains its village character with excellent amenities, beautiful countryside, and a strong sense of community.
