Denton is a small village and civil parish in the district of South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, set in gently rolling agricultural countryside within the East Midlands. It lies a short drive from market towns such as Grantham and Stamford, and the surroundings are typical of rural Lincolnshire with hedged lanes, arable fields and a scattering of traditional stone and brick cottages.
The settlement has a long rural pedigree and retains a quiet village character; farming still plays a significant role locally while a number of residents commute to nearby towns. Community life is focused on the parish, with local events, footpaths popular with walkers and a few historic buildings and a parish church that provide modest architectural interest rather than large-scale tourism.
