Bracebridge Heath is a commuter village approximately 2 miles (3 km) south from the city and county town of Lincoln, England. It lies at the junction of two major roads the A15 to Sleaford and the A607 to Grantham, and was (until modern systems of local government were introduced in the 19th century) part of the Boothby Graffoe Wapentake. The village sits on top of Lincoln Cliff, overlooking Lincoln and the valley of the River Witham. The Viking Way runs along the cliff top, a 147 miles (237 km) long footpath, which runs from the Humber Bridge to Oakham. Its population at the 2001 census was 4,530.
