About South Kesteven

The picturesque Lincolnshire market towns of Grantham, Stamford, Bourne and Market Deeping are the historic centres of South Kesteven. The wider district encompasses 365 square miles of beautiful countryside and more than 80 rural villages, and there is a wide and welcoming variety of hotels, B&Bs, visitor attractions, family entertainment and delicious places to eat across the district. Our current population is around 134,000.

South Kesteven is an area with an unusually rich culture, and the District has had a disproportionate influence in many areas of national and global life. Mathematicians, physicists, astronomers, alchemists, theologians, authors and a Prime Minister were educated in South Kesteven, and we welcomed over 3m visitors in 2022.

We benefit from excellent transport infrastructure. Located on the main East Coast rail line (just over a hour from London) and with a number of access points from the A1, South Kesteven is the perfect place to visit for a day trip, a weekend getaway or a relaxing Lincolnshire holiday.
