A market town of medieval origins, Bourne lies on the Kesteven Uplands in Lincolnshire, home to an abbey founded in 1138 and over seventy listed buildings. Elsea Park and Bourne itself are among the most sought-after pockets for school catchments in South Kesteven, with Morton and Westbourne Park extending the residential reach. The town's Victorian railway heritage remains visible in historic architecture across the centre. The East Coast Main Line reaches Peterborough, twenty miles south, with trains from the town area providing connections in approximately thirty minutes. Around 14,500 residents live across Bourne today.
