The area covers the villages of Old Leake and Wrangle, lying a few miles east of the market town of Boston in Lincolnshire. It occupies the low‑lying Fens close to The Wash, a landscape dominated by flat arable fields, drainage ditches, sea‑banks and the odd pumping station, which together shape a strong coastal and wetland character with notable birdlife on the nearby marshes.
Locally the two villages have a quiet rural feel: farming and market gardening underpin the economy while village halls, parish churches and traditional pubs provide the social hubs. The history of reclamation and drainage is visible in place names and land patterns, and residents typically look to Boston and the surrounding towns for wider services, making the ward a mix of agricultural tradition and commuter living.
