Blyton is a small village and civil parish in the district of West Lindsey in Lincolnshire, England, set in classic low-lying Lincolnshire farmland. The settlement sits close to market towns such as Gainsborough and draws occasional visitors for its countryside charm and the nearby motorsport venue at Blyton Park, which occupies the former airfield site of RAF Blyton.
Locally the economy is rooted in agriculture, with many people commuting to larger towns, while village life centres on a parish church, village hall and pub; community events and the motorsport calendar give Blyton a steady social rhythm. Its long history is reflected in traditional buildings and the intestinal lane-and-field pattern typical of rural Lincolnshire.
