The parish of Greetham and Somersby sits within East Lindsey in the rolling chalk hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds in Lincolnshire, England. It is a distinctly rural area of mixed farmland, hedgerows and small woods, popular with walkers and those seeking the quiet of the countryside, and lies a short drive from the market town of Horncastle for shops and services.
Somersby is best known for its association with the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and the local church and rectory reflect that literary heritage, while both settlements retain a cluster of stone cottages and farmsteads. The local economy is largely agricultural, augmented by a little tourism around Tennyson-related sites and outdoor recreation, and the small communities are typically close-knit with village events and ties to nearby towns.
