The village of Digby is a small rural settlement and civil parish in the district of North Kesteven in Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles from the market town of Sleaford and within easy reach of the city of Lincoln. It sits amid gently rolling arable farmland typical of central Lincolnshire and retains a quiet village character of cottages, farmsteads and narrow lanes.
Locally the village’s identity is closely linked to nearby RAF Digby, an airfield with a long military history dating back to the early 20th century; that presence, together with agriculture, has shaped the local economy and community life. Amenities are limited so residents often look to neighbouring towns for shops and services, while the surrounding countryside and paths make it pleasant for walkers and those interested in Lincolnshire’s rural history.
