About

Spalding Castle ward sits in the north of the town, with the River Welland and Vernatt's Drain forming its key boundaries. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of post-war housing and newer developments. The ward includes the Castle Sports Complex, which provides local leisure facilities, and the surrounding streets are served by several local schools and shopping parades for everyday needs.

The ward's geography is defined by waterways and flat, open landscapes typical of the Fens. Agricultural land borders the residential areas, reflecting the district's farming heritage. A notable local landmark is the site of the former Spalding Castle, a medieval motte-and-bailey fortress, though only the earthworks remain visible near the river today.
