LOCATION, AREA, BOUNDARIES, LANDFORM, SETTING

Hainton Hall is situated about 30 kilometres to the north-east of Lincoln in a rural part of the Lincolnshire Wolds, to the north-west of the A157 Lincoln to Louth road. The roughly 72 hectare site is bounded to the north-east by Hainton estate village and to the north-west by a minor country road, to the south-west by farmland, and to the east and south-east by the A157. The ground falls very gently to the south and west, giving westerly views out across the Wolds.
