About

Swineshead and Holland Fen ward encompasses a large rural area north of Boston. It is characterised by expanses of agricultural land, primarily arable fields, and a network of drainage channels and waterways. The settlement of Swineshead itself is a linear village situated along the old A17 road. The landscape is predominantly flat, shaped by historical fenland drainage, with scattered farmsteads and smaller hamlets across the ward.

The area's geography is defined by the Holland Fen, a vast tract of reclaimed marshland. This creates a distinct environment of wide skies and open vistas, with the River Witham forming a significant part of its western boundary. Economic activity is heavily centred on farming and land management, with the ward containing some of the borough's most productive agricultural land. The historic Swineshead Abbey site lies near the village.
