Bardney is a small village and parish in the district of West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, in eastern England, set beside the lower reaches of the River Witham and surrounded by agricultural fen and meadowland. The village sits close to the city of Lincoln and is known for its pleasant riverside walks, former gravel‑pit nature reserves around Bardney Lakes, and a landscape that attracts birdwatchers and walkers.

The settlement has deep roots: the site of the historic Bardney Abbey, once an Anglo‑Saxon monastery and later a medieval Benedictine house, and still celebrated locally for the arrival of St Oswald’s relics in early medieval times. Today it remains a lively rural community with farming at its economic heart, supplemented by small businesses and commuters to nearby towns; social life revolves around the village hall, church, school and pubs, while local conservation areas keep the emphasis on countryside recreation and nature conservation.
