North Hykeham is a town and civil parish in the district of North Kesteven, sitting just to the south of the city of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. It lies close to the River Witham and benefits from good road links to the A46 and A15, making it a convenient fringe settlement between urban Lincoln and the surrounding fen and agricultural countryside.
Once a small village with medieval roots, North Hykeham expanded considerably in the 20th century and today combines older cottages and newer housing estates with retail parks, light industry and business parks. Local life centres on schools, sports clubs and community events, with much of the town’s economy and identity tied to nearby Lincoln and regional employers, including a nearby RAF base that also shapes the area socially and economically.
