The perfect place to grow a business and bring up a family, it’s no surprise to us that South Kesteven is one of the top 50 best places to live in the UK according to the Halifax Quality of Life Survey. Rolling countryside and colourful big skies are a huge part of our appeal, especially to those who have grown weary of the smog and hectic pace of life in larger cities.
That said, South Kesteven is so exceptionally well placed (just over an hour from London by train from King’s Cross) that it’s entirely possible to continue earning a city salary while enjoying downtime in the rural heart of Lincolnshire.
In truth, once they’ve had a taste of the quality of life South Kesteven offers, it won’t be long before even the most hardened commuters are itching to trade in their season ticket for life in the country.
Excellent education and work opportunities in the region are enabling our young people to achieve their career aspirations here in their home district. House prices are such that becoming a home-owner is a realistic goal for the next generation, not a pipe dream.
As much for locals as it is for visitors, our Discover South Kesteven website lists details of all attractions, accommodation, events and festivals happening across the district.
