Caythorpe is a hamlet in Nottinghamshire, England. It is located 10 miles (16 km) north-east of Nottingham, close to the River Trent. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 259[1]. The hamlet has a water mill dated 1749[2]. A windmill stood in a field called Fairholme, later Woolf's Farm.
