Old Leake is a small village and civil parish in Boston, Lincolnshire, England, set on the edge of the low-lying Fenland close to The Wash. The landscape is characterised by flat, drained fields, sea walls and drainage channels, giving the area a strongly agricultural feel and long views across the countryside; it sits a few miles from the larger market town of Boston and within easy reach of the east‑coast resorts such as Skegness.
Historic features include a medieval parish church and vestiges of the fens’ long farming history, while today the local economy is dominated by arable farming alongside residents who commute to nearby towns. The village retains typical rural amenities - a primary school, village hall and pubs - and a tight‑knit community that still marks the year with local events and fetes.
