Fotherby is a small rural village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, lying on the edge of the gently rolling chalk of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within easy reach of the market town of Louth. Its setting gives pleasant countryside views and quiet lanes that are popular with walkers and cyclists, while the surrounding land is largely given over to mixed arable and pastoral farming.
Locally the village retains a distinctly traditional character with a handful of historic cottages, a parish church and converted farm buildings; the economy remains closely tied to agriculture with some residents commuting to nearby towns and a modest amount of rural tourism. Community life is typical of small Lincolnshire villages, centred on local events, the church and village gatherings rather than shops or heavy industry.
