Donington is a small market town and civil parish in the district of South Holland, in rural Lincolnshire, England. It sits in the characteristically flat fenland countryside of south Lincolnshire, where a network of drains and dykes and rich peat and silt soils have long supported arable and horticultural farming; agriculture, seasonal labour for vegetable and bulb growing, and local food-related businesses remain important to the local economy.
The town has a compact historic core with a parish church and traditional community institutions, and life here has a strong village‑town feel with local clubs, a primary school and small shops and services. Residents often travel to nearby centres such as Spalding for wider facilities and employment, while Donington’s history and landscape reflect the long story of fen drainage, rural industry and community in south Lincolnshire.
