The village and civil parish of Tallington sits in the district of South Kesteven in rural Lincolnshire, a few miles east of the attractive town of Stamford. It occupies low-lying river-side countryside beside the River Welland and is crossed by the East Coast Main Line, with a notable level crossing and nearby former gravel workings that have become the recreation area of Tallington Lakes.
Historically agricultural with significant gravel extraction during the 20th century, the local economy now mixes farming, leisure and light industry; the converted pits provide watersports and fishing that draw visitors, while the village retains a parish church, community hall and an active social calendar. Its position gives good road and rail access towards Peterborough and the A1, so the parish combines a quiet rural character with practical commuter links.
