Gedney is a low-lying village and ward in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, sitting on the eastern edge of the Fens close to The Wash. The landscape is characteristically flat and agricultural, with a network of drains and banks from centuries of land reclamation; nearby saltmarshes and mudflats attract a variety of waders and wildfowl, making the coastline popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
Historically a medieval parish community, Gedney retains a village centre with a parish church and local amenities while the surrounding economy is dominated by arable farming and horticulture, especially vegetable and potato production. Community life tends to revolve around the church, village hall and local pubs, and the settlement has close links with nearby market towns such as Holbeach and Long Sutton, which provide additional services and markets for local produce.
