Colsterworth is a village and civil parish in the district of South Kesteven, in Lincolnshire, England, lying just off the A1 and a few miles south of Grantham. Set in gently rolling agricultural countryside, the village combines traditional stone cottages with more modern housing and benefits from good road links that make it a popular base for commuters to nearby towns.
