Alvingham is a small village and civil parish in the district of East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, sitting close to the market town of Louth and on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. It has a quiet, rural character dominated by arable farmland and pasture, with many residents employed in agriculture or commuting to nearby towns such as Louth and Skegness.
The village has a long history - notably the site of a medieval Gilbertine priory and an old parish church - so stone buildings, historic lanes and pleasant river-side walks give it a sense of age and place. Visitors and locals value its peacefulness and access to Wolds walking routes, while nearby market and coastal attractions add to the social and economic mix.
