Candlesby with Gunby sits in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, set among the rolling chalk hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the market town of Spilsby. The landscape is characteristically rural - hedgerow-bound arable fields, quiet lanes and attractive walking country - which gives the area a peaceful, sparsely populated feel.
Its most notable feature is Gunby Hall, an early 18th-century country house with gardens cared for by the National Trust that draws visitors and occasional local events; otherwise the local economy revolves around agriculture and small-scale tourism. Social life is typical of small village communities, centred on the parish church, village gatherings and seasonal activities that reflect the long agricultural history of the area.
