Firsby is a small, largely rural parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, set amid low-lying arable land with views towards the Lincolnshire Wolds and within reach of the north‑east Lincolnshire coast. It was historically notable for its railway junction, Firsby station, which once handled holiday traffic to Skegness before closing in the twentieth century; little of the station infrastructure survives today.
Modern life in the parish is dominated by agriculture, scattered farmsteads and a small, close-knit community that increasingly looks to nearby market towns such as Spilsby for shops and services. The combination of quiet lanes, farmland and proximity to both the Wolds and the seaside makes the area attractive to walkers and those seeking a tranquil rural base.
