Burton Waters is a small residential marina and waterside development on the River Witham just north of Lincoln, in the district of West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England. Largely developed in the late 20th century, it centres on a compact basin with private moorings and modern homes, making it a popular spot for leisure boaters and people seeking riverside living close to the city; the flat Lincolnshire fenland, reedbeds and towpaths also make it attractive for walkers and birdwatchers.
Whereas the area's longer history is shaped by drainage, agriculture and river transport, the present-day settlement is more leisure- and commuter-focused: the marina supports a handful of small businesses, holiday lets and a quiet local community who use Lincoln for services and work. Socially it feels low-key and semi-rural, valued for its waterside atmosphere rather than as a traditional village centre.
