Holton le Clay is a substantial village and civil parish in the district of East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, set in gently rolling farmland within easy reach of Grimsby and Louth. The surrounding countryside is agricultural and characterised by the heavy clay soils that give the village its name; residents often enjoy nearby walking country on the fringes of the Lincolnshire Wolds or excursions to the east coast and the Humber estuary for birdwatching and coastal walking.
Historically the community has medieval roots and today combines traditional rural livelihoods with a commuter population working in nearby towns and ports. The village sustains a lively community life with a primary school, village hall and local clubs and events, a handful of shops and small businesses, and numerous public footpaths and green spaces that keep the settlement feeling village‑centred rather than urban.
