Calcethorpe with Kelstern is a very small, quietly rural parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, made up of scattered hamlets and farmsteads amid open arable fields and hedgerows. The landscape gives long, low views typical of this part of Lincolnshire, and the area feels remote and largely unchanged, with lanes, drystone walls and occasional pockets of pasture that invite local walking and wildlife watching.
Historically the settlement pattern hints at medieval roots, with surviving field patterns and earthworks rather than a bustling centre; its economy remains principally agricultural, and its social life is shaped by a small, close-knit population who often use nearby larger villages for churches, shops and community events. Visitors with an interest in rural heritage or quiet country walks will find the parish representative of the quieter, less altered parts of eastern Lincolnshire.
