Bracebridge Heath is a village and civil parish in the district of North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, lying just south of the city of Lincoln on the crest of the Lincoln Cliff. Its elevated position gives broad views over the River Witham valley and it sits close to the line of the old ridge road and Ermine Street, so it has long stood on an important local route.
The village mixes a suburban feel with a distinct local identity: an early 20th‑century air station, RAF Bracebridge Heath, is part of its wartime heritage, while today it functions largely as a commuter community with small businesses, an industrial estate, schools, clubs and active parish organisations. The combination of historic setting, good transport links into Lincoln and nearby countryside makes it an attractive place for families and professionals alike.
