Elkington is a small, rural civil parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, lying on the rolling chalk and limestone of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a quiet landscape of arable fields, hedgerows and winding lanes with convenient access to market towns such as Louth and Horncastle, making it popular with walkers and those seeking a rural escape.
The area has agricultural roots and a long history reflected in scattered farmsteads, historic buildings and occasional earthworks, while community life remains small-scale and village-centred. Today the local economy still depends largely on farming, supplemented by rural tourism and the steady appeal of traditional village living.
