Fosdyke is a small riverside village in the borough of Boston, Lincolnshire, England, sited on the north bank of the River Welland where the water meets the tidal flats of The Wash. The surrounding landscape is the characteristic low-lying drained fen and salt marsh of the Wash estuary, with sluices, dykes and flood defences shaping both the scenery and local wildlife interest.
Historically the village developed around a modest riverside trade and fishing activity linked to the agricultural hinterland; today the local economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Spalding and Boston. It retains a quiet, close-knit village feel, attracts visitors for estuary birdwatching and reflects the distinctive social and environmental character of Lincolnshire’s fenland communities.
