Long Bennington is a village and civil parish in the district of South Kesteven, in Lincolnshire, England. It sits beside the old line of the Great North Road (now the A1), giving it a long history as a coaching stop and convenient road links to nearby market towns such as Grantham and Newark, with open agricultural countryside and views towards the Vale of Belvoir.
The settlement combines period cottages and 19th‑century terraces with everyday amenities such as a school, shops and pubs, and an active village hall, church and local clubs. Farming and small local businesses remain important to the economy, while many residents commute to larger towns, so the village balances historic character with a lively community spirit.
