Willoughton is a small village and civil parish in the district of West Lindsey, in rural Lincolnshire, England. Set among farmland and hedged lanes, it retains a quiet, agricultural character typical of the county, with clusters of cottages and farmsteads rather than extensive modern development.
Historically the village has modest medieval roots and a close‑knit community feel, with local gatherings centred on village amenities and the parish church. The local economy is largely agricultural, supplemented by residents who commute to nearby market towns; walkers and country‑lovers also value the surrounding lanes and countryside for rambling and wildlife watching.
