The village and parish of Old Leake sits in the flat, open landscape of the Lincolnshire Fens a short drive from the market town of Boston and the tidal edge of The Wash, in Lincolnshire, England. The setting is typically fenland - wide skies, drained fields and a network of dykes and drains - which gives the area its agricultural character and a distinct sense of place compared with hillier parts of the county.
Locally the community is centred on farming and small-business life, with a village hall, primary school and church providing social focus and regular events. The history of land reclamation and drainage is still visible in field patterns and place names, while many residents commute to nearby Boston or coastal towns for work, making it a quiet but socially connected rural parish.
