Risegate is a small village in the civil parish of Gosberton, within the district of South Holland in Lincolnshire, England. It sits along the man‑made watercourse the Risegate Eau in the flat, reclaimed landscape of the Fens, where a network of drains, dykes and embanked channels shapes the local scenery.
The local economy and way of life are strongly agricultural, with arable farming and market gardening dominating land use; the village retains a quiet, close‑knit community feel with traditional brick farmhouses and village amenities rather than large industry. Historically the settlement reflects the story of fen drainage and nineteenth‑century improvement, and it looks to nearby market towns such as Spalding for broader services while keeping a distinctly rural character.
