Crowland sits on a little island in the drained fenlands of South Holland, Lincolnshire, England, close to the old course of the River Welland. Its low-lying landscape and network of drainage channels give the area a distinctive flat, open character and a strong agricultural economy - arable farming and glasshouse/vegetable production are common in the surrounding countryside.
The town is best known for the medieval remains of Crowland Abbey and the quirky three‑way stone Trinity Bridge, both reminders of its monastic past and the historic Croyland chronicle tradition. Today it’s a small, close-knit community with local events and visitors who come for history, walking and the particular atmosphere of the fenland landscape.
