The civil parish of Branston and Mere lies in the district of North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, just outside the city of Lincoln. It combines the larger village of Branston with the smaller settlement of Mere, set amid the county’s rolling arable farmland, hedgerows and quiet lanes which give the area a distinctly rural character.
Local life mixes traditional agriculture with a growing number of commuters who work in Lincoln and neighbouring towns; community activity typically centres on a village hall, a pub and local clubs, with occasional fetes and countryside events. There is modest historic interest in the layout and older brick and stone buildings, and plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling through the surrounding fields and lanes.
