Billinghay is a village and civil parish in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, set on the edge of the low-lying Lincolnshire Fens and criss-crossed by drainage channels and small meres historically linked to the River Witham. The fenland setting gives a flat, open landscape and fertile soils, so agriculture remains important, although many residents commute to nearby Lincoln for work and services.
The village has medieval roots and centres on the parish church of St Michael and All Angels, with a tightly-knit community around a primary school, village hall, pubs and sports clubs. Billinghay keeps a relaxed rural character, with local events and nature interest from the surrounding wetland environment contributing to its social and cultural life.
