Lea

About

Lea ward covers a largely rural expanse in the northern part of West Lindsey, characterised by open farmland and several small, dispersed villages. The landscape is dominated by agricultural fields and quiet country lanes, with the settlements of Lea, Knaith, and Fenton forming its main population centres. The area maintains a quiet, agricultural character, with farming being the primary land use and a key element of the local economy.

A notable feature is its position along the River Trent, which forms part of the ward's eastern boundary. This proximity to the river has historically influenced the area, with Knaith Park located on its banks. The ward includes the site of Gainsborough Old Hall, a medieval manor house, which lies just within its southern extent near the town of Gainsborough, providing a distinct historical landmark amidst the prevailing rural setting.
