Chapel St. Leonards sits on the Lincolnshire coast in the district of East Lindsey, overlooking The Wash. It’s a low-lying, sandy seaside village with a long beach and a promenade, popular for caravanning and holiday parks; the local economy is dominated by tourism and leisure, with a noticeable seasonal swell in visitors and services geared towards family holidays and seaside activities. The position by the estuary also makes it interesting for birdwatchers and anglers who come to see the migratory waders and coastal wildlife.

The name comes from a medieval chapel dedicated to St Leonard, reflecting its long coastal settlement history, and the community today combines quiet residential areas with terraces of holiday accommodation and a small centre of shops and cafés. Like many East Coast communities it deals with coastal management issues and a largely seasonal rhythm, but retains a friendly, community-oriented feel and easy access to nearby resorts such as Skegness and the wider county of Lincolnshire, England.
