About

Bracebridge Heath and Waddington sit within North Kesteven on the Lincoln Cliff ridge, where streets step down from the escarpment into farmland. Bracebridge Heath grew around the main road and local services, with a mix of housing, a primary school and community facilities that serve surrounding hamlets. Waddington retains a village core around its parish church and lanes that lead to arable fields and small woodland blocks. Public footpaths and bridleways link the two settlements and run along hedged field boundaries and old trackways.

The airfield at Waddington is a defining presence, an operational Royal Air Force station whose runways and perimeter shape local movement and land use. Local clubs, parish councils and village halls provide meeting points for community activities, and farmers’ tracks feed into a patchwork of cultivation and pasture. Market towns and district services are reached by main roads that run through the area, while rail and larger road connections lie beyond the parish boundaries.
