Bourne sits in the district of South Kesteven in Lincolnshire, England, on the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Fens. The town grew around the springs that feed the Bourne Eau, giving it a pleasantly green, riverside feel despite being in a largely agricultural landscape; its stone-built streets and regular markets reflect a long history as a local service centre for surrounding farms.
There are unmistakable historic and community threads to life in Bourne - a medieval abbey and traditional churches, independent shops and regular local events - while the nearby woods and country parks, including approaches to Grimsthorpe, make it a handy base for walking and cycling. The local economy blends farming, small-scale manufacturing and retail, with many residents also commuting to larger towns and cities in the region.
