Aubourn

Aubourn ("Stream where the Alders grow") is a small village in the civil parish of Aubourn with Haddington, in the North Kesteven district, in the county of Lincolnshire, England. It is just east of the A46, in between Lincoln and Newark-on-Trent. It has a one-way system that is unusual for a small countryside village, and a public house called 'The Royal Oak'. In 1921 the parish had a population of 212. On 1 April 1931 the parish was abolished to form "Aubourn, Haddington and South Hykeham".

==Geography== The village of Aubourn is located approximately south, south west of the City of Lincoln, adjacent to the River Witham, which winds its way eastwards to The Haven, a tidal arm of the Wash. Before the Second World War, the lower land to the east of the village was allowed to flood during the winter if the river rose too high, but since then a flood bank 2.5 metre high has been erected to prevent flooding and protect the village. The village lies on the C103 road between the A46 and the A607 at Harmston, and in the absence of an alternative route also provides a natural link to the A15. Consequently, the village is likely to benefit from the construction of the North Hykeham Relief Road, formerly described as the Lincoln Southern Bypass. The village is well situated for walks and horse riding.
