Location

Fosdyke is a small village situated around 7 miles south of Boston, just off the A17, and 10 miles north of Spalding. Not far from the A17, the A16, and the A52, there are excellent road links to Grantham to the west (40 mins), the A1 North at Newark (45 mins), and the A1 South at Peterborough (40 mins) where fast trains to London take around 45 minutes.

Although small, it is a lively community with a village hall where a number of fitness classes and events take place. There is also a Social & Sports Club called Fozzy's, which has a playing field with football pitch and changing rooms, an enclosed multisport area used for five-a-side football, basketball and volleyball, and a bowling green. There is also a children's adventure playground. A little outside the village, next to Fosdyke Bridge, stands an excellent pub and restaurant, The Ship Inn, currently under refurbishment, and Fosdyke Yacht Haven, a pleasure boat marina and boatyard with dry land facilities for sailing craft. Lovely walks along the River Welland stretch to the RSPB Moulton Marsh nature reserve beyond which the river meets the River Haven to flow into The Wash. In an area that is an ideal habitat for birds, Fosdyke Wash has another nature reserve even closer by, and RSPB Frampton Marsh is an extensive one with a visitor centre only about 5 minutes in the car.
