Washingborough is a compact parish in the district of North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, in eastern England, sitting on the banks of the River Witham and beside the ancient Fossdyke navigation. Its waterside setting and nearby reedbeds give the area a pleasantly rural, fen-edge character while being only a few miles from the city of Lincoln, which makes it popular with commuters and walkers alike.
The village has a long history reflected in its parish church and old buildings, and the local economy still mixes agriculture with small businesses and village amenities such as pubs, a primary school and community facilities. The presence of nearby sites such as RAF Scampton and good road and river links has helped shape its social life: a blend of historic roots and a contemporary commuter community enjoying boating, birdwatching and waterside walks.
