Botus Fleming

Botus Fleming (or Botusfleming) is a gentle village and civil parish in southeast Cornwall, its character underscored by a population of 766 at the 2021 census. Sitting about three miles north‑west of Saltash at grid reference SX 403 612, it feels quietly detached from the bustle while remaining within easy reach of larger towns. The village itself is small and welcoming: a local public house serves as a social hub, a market garden offers a touch of cultivated Cornwall, and a modest colony of artists brings creative life to the lanes and cottages. Yet much of Botus Fleming’s identity is shaped by its role as a dormitory area for Plymouth, where many residents commute while returning each day to the calm of village life. Visitors can enjoy the unhurried pace, the pockets of rural charm and the understated cultural note provided by the artist community. Botus Fleming is an invitation to slow down, linger over a pint, and appreciate a quieter corner of the South West.
