Carlby is a small, quietly rural village and civil parish in the district of South Kesteven, in Lincolnshire, England. Set on gently rolling countryside close to the border with Rutland, it feels like a classic English farming community with stone cottages, lanes and a compact settlement pattern that reflects a long agricultural history.
Economically the area is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby market towns - notably Stamford - for work and services; the village also benefits from access to leisure countryside and water-based recreation within easy reach, such as Rutland attractions. Social life tends to centre on local gatherings and village amenities, and the built environment shows a mixture of historic buildings and modest modern homes that underline its understated, close-knit character.
