Gedney Drove End is a small, low-lying fenland settlement in the district of South Holland in Lincolnshire, England. It sits within the reclaimed Fens close to The Wash and the Lincolnshire coast, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by flat arable fields, drains and sea-defence banks that reflect centuries of drainage and land reclamation.

The local economy is largely agricultural, with intensive arable and vegetable production shaping daily life, while the social fabric is that of a small rural community often looking to nearby villages and market towns such as Gedney, Spalding and Boston for shops, services and events. Historically the area’s character has been set by fen drainage projects and rural parish life, giving it a quiet, workmanlike charm typical of southern Lincolnshire.
