Scampton is a small village and civil parish in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles north‑west of Lincoln. It occupies the flat, arable landscape typical of the county, with lanes, farms and a medieval parish church at its core; the community is relatively small and many residents commute into Lincoln or nearby towns for work and services.
The parish is best known for RAF Scampton, the historic airbase long associated with wartime operations and famous squadrons, which has shaped local identity and provided an important source of employment alongside agriculture. That mix of military heritage, quiet rural life and easy access to urban amenities gives the village an interesting blend of history and contemporary community life.
