Donington is a fenland village and civil parish in the district of South Holland, in Lincolnshire, set in the low-lying agricultural landscape of the Fens close to the market town of Spalding. Its character owes much to the drained marshland around it, with wide arable fields, drainage channels and a long history of vegetable and bulb growing that still shapes the local economy.
Historically the village grew around a medieval parish church and farming estates, and today it retains a mix of historic buildings and practical rural amenities such as a village hall, primary school and small local businesses. The community is typically close-knit, with traditions and events tied to the agricultural calendar and easy access to nearby towns for services and commuting.
