Fleet is a small ward in the heart of the low-lying, reclaimed fenlands of South Holland in Lincolnshire, England. The landscape is characteristically flat and fertile, criss-crossed by drainage channels and ditches that reflect centuries of land reclamation; nearby market towns such as Spalding and Holbeach provide local services and transport links.
The area is strongly agricultural, with arable cropping, vegetable and bulb growing and associated food-processing playing a big role in the local economy, and seasonal labour patterns are part of village life. Socially it reads as a small, close-knit rural community with the usual village institutions - church, hall and community groups - and a history shaped by Fen drainage and the changing fortunes of farming rather than heavy industry.
