Baston is a village and civil parish in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, sitting on the western edge of the Fens. It occupies a rural location with easy access to nearby market towns such as Spalding and Peterborough, and its landscape is defined by drained fenland, rivers and a mix of arable fields and hedged lanes.
The village has a long history visible in its older buildings and a village church dating back several centuries, and today combines agriculture and market gardening with a commuter population. Community life is lively for its size, centred on a village hall, local pubs and clubs, seasonal fetes and outdoor pursuits, while the surrounding wetland and drainage channels attract birdlife and walkers.
