Hemswell Cliff is a small village and civil parish in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles south‑east of Gainsborough. It developed around the wartime and Cold War airbase RAF Hemswell, and many former station buildings and married quarters remain, giving the village a distinctive mix of military‑era architecture and more modern housing.
Today the parish is largely rural and agricultural, with a number of residents commuting to nearby towns; repurposed hangars and workshops host small businesses, while a village hall, local events and memorials reflect a close‑knit community with an active interest in its aviation heritage.
