Waddington is a small village and civil parish in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, lying a few miles south of Lincoln on gently rolling fen-edge farmland. Its skyline and local economy are strongly influenced by the neighbouring RAF Waddington airbase, which provides jobs, brings military visitors and occasional air displays that are a notable feature of village life.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots with a parish church and a number of older stone cottages, while culturally it retains a lively community spirit - a village hall, school, pubs and local clubs underpin regular fetes and events. The area still reflects its agricultural hinterland but many residents also commute into Lincoln, giving the place a mix of rural character and easy access to urban amenities.
