Ashby de la Launde and Bloxholm is a small, largely rural parish in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, comprising the village of Ashby de la Launde and the tiny hamlet of Bloxholm. Set among farmland, hedgerows and quiet country lanes, it has a pleasantly unspoilt character with public footpaths, a historic parish church and a handful of estate and former manor buildings, and sits within easy reach of larger centres such as Sleaford and Lincoln, which makes it attractive to walkers and commuters alike.
The local economy is still largely agricultural, supplemented by residents who travel to nearby towns, while the social life revolves around village and church activities and occasional community events; the area’s historic houses and landscape hint at a long rural history, giving the parish a strong sense of place despite its small population.
