Burgh on Bain is a small village and civil parish in the district of East Lindsey, in rural Lincolnshire, England. It sits in the shallow valley of the River Bain on the edge of the rolling countryside associated with the Lincolnshire Wolds, and the place-name itself hints at medieval origins - "burgh" signifying a defended site.
Today the parish retains a quiet, agricultural character made up of cottages, farmsteads and lanes; many people work locally in farming or commute to nearby market towns such as Horncastle and Market Rasen. The area is popular with walkers and those after rural life, and the close-knit community and local lanes give it a distinctly unhurried, historic English village feel.
