Silk Willoughby is a small, rural village and civil parish in North Kesteven, in the county of Lincolnshire, England. It sits close to the market town of Sleaford on the edge of the low-lying arable country and fenland that characterises this part of Lincolnshire, giving it a quietly agricultural setting with narrow lanes and scattered farmsteads.
The village retains a strong sense of local history and community: a medieval parish church and several older cottages and farm buildings reflect centuries of settlement, while village life today centres on community events, the village hall and farming activity. Economically it remains anchored in agriculture, with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work, and the landscape and buildings still show the legacy of fen drainage and rural continuity.
