Area Overview
Coningsby and Tattershall are linked by the River Bain, one village running into the other, and though 14 miles from the nearest large town (Boston), are extremely well serviced in the rural countryside of Lincolnshire. A post office, a bank, two estate agents and a garage are all located within Coningsby itself. The historic Tattershall Castle is a prominent feature in Tattershall village, and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight draws visitors from all over the country. Five miles northwest is the picturesque village of Woodhall Spa, with restaurants, golf and the amazing Kinema in the Woods.
