Spilsby is a small market town and civil parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, set on the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where rolling chalk hills meet the flat fenland. The town retains a compact historic centre with a market square, independent shops, cafes and Georgian and Victorian buildings, and it serves a wide rural hinterland.
Spilsby has a long local history - it’s the birthplace of the Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin - and a present-day economy grounded in agriculture, small enterprises and local services, with leisure and walking popular thanks to nearby countryside. Community life features regular markets and seasonal events, and the town sits within easy reach of heritage attractions such as the wartime aviation museum at East Kirkby.
