Crowland & Cowbit

Crowland and Cowbit are rural villages in South Holland, Lincolnshire, known for their agricultural landscapes and historic connections. Crowland is notable for its medieval abbey ruins and the unique triangular Trinity Bridge, dating back to the 14th century. The area is surrounded by fertile farmland, with drainage channels and rivers like the River Welland shaping the terrain. Cowbit, a smaller settlement, lies nearby and shares a similar farming-focused economy, with fields of crops and livestock common across both villages.

The villages are connected by quiet country roads, with Crowland offering local amenities such as shops, pubs, and a primary school. Both communities have a strong sense of local history, with traditional brick-built houses and older cottages reflecting their past. The flat, open countryside makes the area popular for walking and cycling, while the nearby wetlands attract birdwatchers. Despite their small size, Crowland and Cowbit maintain active parish councils and community events, preserving their rural character.
