Willoughton is a small village and civil parish in the district of West Lindsey in Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles north of the market town of Gainsborough. It sits amid gently rolling farmland and meadows typical of northern Lincolnshire, with a landscape shaped by mixed arable farming and hedgerow‑lined lanes.
The community has a long history, with buildings and field patterns that hint at medieval origins, and village life is centred on a parish church, a village hall and local social activities. Agriculture remains important, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work, and the place is valued for its quiet rural character, pleasant walking country and occasional fetes and community events that sustain a close-knit social scene.
