About

Fishtoft is a largely residential ward situated directly east of Boston town centre, separated by the tidal Haven river. The area encompasses a mix of housing developments and older village properties, with a significant amount of open agricultural land and drainage channels defining its rural edges. Local amenities are concentrated along its main roads, serving the community's daily needs.

The geography is characterised by the flat, reclaimed fenland typical of the region, with the parish church of St. Guthlac standing as a historical landmark. A network of public footpaths allows access across the fields and along the sea bank, which provides flood defence and views towards The Wash. The area's landscape is fundamentally shaped by its history of land drainage and proximity to the tidal river.
