Waddington is a village in the district of North Kesteven, in Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles south of Lincoln. It sits in the flat, arable countryside typical of the county, with a compact village centre and surrounding farmland that gives a distinctly rural feel despite good road links to the city.
The most conspicuous local feature is nearby RAF Waddington, a long‑established air station and significant local employer that has shaped the village’s character; occasional air displays and the base’s presence are part of everyday life. The village itself retains historic buildings and a parish church, a primary school, a couple of pubs and active community groups, so social life mixes agricultural traditions with the influence of the RAF and easy access to Lincoln.
