South Witham is a village and civil parish in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, lying in the valley of the River Witham close to the county borders with Rutland and Leicestershire. The settlement has a mix of agricultural surroundings and a modest industrial past - 19th- and 20th-century quarrying and the arrival of rail connections helped shape its growth - while today many residents commute to nearby centres such as Grantham or Leicester. Local life revolves around the parish church, village hall and community events, and the surrounding rolling countryside, public footpaths and old quarry sites make it a popular spot for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts, with easy road access via the A1.
