Hemswell Cliff is a small village and civil parish in the district of West Lindsey, in rural Lincolnshire, England. It has a compact, residential feel set amid open agricultural land, and its layout and buildings still reflect its 20th‑century military origins rather than a traditional linear village pattern.
The settlement grew up around the former airfield of RAF Hemswell, and many wartime and post‑war buildings have been repurposed into homes, workshops and small businesses, giving the place a distinct character and modest local economy linked to farming and niche enterprises. The community is small and active, with a village hall and social life shaped by its mix of former service families and long‑standing rural residents, and it attracts visitors interested in aviation history and rural Lincolnshire.
