Kirkby on Bain geography / climate

Kirkby on Bain lies within the glacial Bain Valley at the confluence of River Bain and Haltham Beck. The Bain was canalised into the Horncastle Canal in the 1790s with the Old Course now little more than a stream.

North

To the north stretches the shallow glacial valley of the River Bain. The land is largely pastoral farmland used for rearing cattle and sheep. Further away from the river the land is more arable.

South

Kirkby Gravel Pits Nature Reserve is one of very few inland sites in the county which have been visited by Eurasian spoonbill. To the south along the valley are sand and gravel pits, many of them now disused and some transformed into nature reserves.

West

Kirkby Moor and Moor Farm Nature Reserves, both SSSIs, and soon to be joined by the former airfield of RAF Woodhall Spa purchased by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust.
