Witham on the Hill is a small, attractive village and civil parish in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, sitting on a modest ridge that gives good views across the surrounding fenland and rolling farmland. It lies within easy reach of the market towns of Bourne and Stamford and is close to the big estate landscapes of Grimsthorpe Park, so it feels both rural and connected.
The village is dominated by traditional stone cottages and the large country house Witham Hall, now a well‑regarded preparatory school noted for its music, and the local economy remains largely agricultural with several estate holdings nearby. With a small, active community and a pleasantly quiet setting, the parish attracts walkers, rural commuters and anyone looking for a quintessential south Lincolnshire village experience.
