Welcome to Wilsford

Wilsford is a small village located in the county of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Till, which flows through the village and provides a picturesque setting for visitors. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. Mary's Church, which is a Grade I listed building. The church features a Norman doorway and a 14th-century tower, and it is a popular destination for tourists and history enthusiasts.

In addition to its historic buildings, Wilsford is also home to a number of natural attractions. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, including the Lincolnshire Wolds, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visitors can enjoy walking, cycling, and horse riding in the area, and there are several nature reserves nearby where they can observe local wildlife. The village is also close to the River Witham, which is a popular spot for fishing and boating.

Despite its small size, Wilsford has a strong sense of community, and there are several local events and activities that take place throughout the year. These include the Wilsford Scarecrow Festival, which sees the village decorated with a variety of scarecrows, and the Wilsford Village Fete, which features traditional games and activities for all ages. The village also has a pub, The Plough Inn, which serves traditional pub food and local ales, and is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike.
