Potterhanworth is a small village and civil parish in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, lying just to the south‑east of the city of Lincoln. It sits on the edge of the fenland and is notable for the nearby wetland of Potterhanworth Fen, a valued conservation area that supports a variety of birdlife and distinctive fen plants.
The village retains a rural, agricultural character while also functioning as a commuter settlement for Lincoln and surrounding towns; local life centres on community facilities and small businesses. Historic roots and the fenland landscape shape the area’s identity, and proximity to sites such as RAF Digby adds a contemporary local connection to regional employment and activity.
