Bourne is a market town in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire. It sits where the limestone Kesteven Uplands slope down to the western edge of the Fens, 11 miles north-east of Stamford, 12 miles west of Spalding and 17 miles north of Peterborough. The town grew up around natural springs, and its name comes from an old word for a stream.
Bourne Abbey received its charter in 1138, and the abbey church of St Peter and St Paul is still the parish church. The Red Hall is another of the town's listed buildings, the Corn Exchange dates from 1870, and Wellhead Gardens in South Street stand where Bourne Castle was built. Bourne is said to be the birthplace of Hereward the Wake. The racing driver Raymond Mays lived in the town and founded two racing-car makers here, ERA and BRM.
Bourne Wood is ancient woodland, once part of the Forest of Kesteven and now looked after by Forestry England. Informal paths follow its forest roads and tracks, and kingfishers and herons visit its ponds. The Bourne Eau carried trading boats from Spalding and the Wash coast until the middle of the 19th century.
Bourne was once a railway junction, but its lines closed after the Second World War and the town has no station. The A15 runs through the town, the A151 leads east to Spalding, and frequent buses run to Peterborough.
