Braceborough and Wilsthorpe is a small, predominantly agricultural civil parish in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles east of the market town of Bourne. The landscape is gently rolling arable countryside and hedged lanes on the edge of the Fenland plain, with attractive stone and brick cottages, a parish church and stretches of quiet footpaths that make it popular with walkers and country-lovers.
Historically the area has 19th‑century Victorian connections, including local spa and railway links that shaped village life (the old local station closed in the mid‑20th century), and today the economy remains largely farming‑based with residents relying on nearby towns for shops and services. Community life is small‑scale and rural, centred on village amenities and events, and the parish appeals to those interested in Lincolnshire heritage and low‑key countryside living with easy access to Lincoln and surrounding towns.
