Scopwick is a small village and civil parish in the district of North Kesteven, in rural Lincolnshire, England. It sits in gently rolling arable countryside a few miles south of Lincoln and within easy reach of Sleaford, and the parish includes the nearby hamlet of Kirkby Green. The landscape is typical of central Lincolnshire with open fields, small copses and drainage channels, and the village retains a compact, agricultural character.
The village has an ancient parish church and several listed buildings, and local life is shaped by farming alongside the presence of nearby RAF Digby, historically known in the Second World War as RAF Scopwick, which contributes to local identity and economy. Community facilities such as a village hall and pub support regular events and clubs, so Scopwick combines a quiet rural feel with a modestly active social life and a strong sense of local history.
