Branston is a village and civil parish in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles south of Lincoln on the edge of open fen and arable farmland. It combines the feel of a traditional Lincolnshire village with easy road links that make it popular with commuters into the cathedral city.
The village is notable locally for Branston Hall, a large country house now used as a hotel and golf venue, and for the former wartime airfield known as RAF Branston, reminders of the area’s 20th‑century history. Day‑to‑day life centres on a village hall, church and small local amenities, while surrounding agriculture and nearby towns shape the local economy and social life.
