Swinderby is a small village and civil parish in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, set in a broadly agricultural landscape of arable fields and hedgerows. It benefits from a quiet rural character but decent transport links for its size, including a local station on the Nottingham to Lincoln line that makes it a popular spot for commuters and walkers exploring the Lincolnshire countryside.
The village has a long, largely agricultural history and a strong local community with the usual mix of village amenities, clubs and events. Notable locally is the site of the former RAF Swinderby, which played a role in 20th-century military training and has since been largely redeveloped, leaving a visible imprint on the parish’s more recent development and economy.
