Bracebridge Heath is a village in Lincolnshire.

Which can be found approximately 2.5 miles south of the City of Lincoln.
To visit by road take the A15 from Lincoln to Sleaford.

Bracebridge Heath village sits on top of the Lincoln Cliff which overlooks the City of Lincoln and the valley of the River Witham.

Along this cliff top runs the Viking Way - The 235 km (145 miles) long footpath which runs from the Humber Bridge to Oakham in Rutland.

Bracebridge Heath lies along the route of the Roman road 'Ermine Street' which was part of the Roman link between London (Londinium) and Lincoln (Lindum).

Of the 16,000 km (10,000 miles) of Roman roads known and recorded in Britain, Ermine Street is one of the best known and runs approximately 320 km (200 miles) from London to York.

The 'Asylum' (St John's Mental Hospital) was closed down in 1990 and sold a few years later to a property developer who has since built nearly 1,000 new houses in the village.

The original hospital buildings are protected from demolition as they are classified as Grade III listed buildings.

During the redevelopment of the old hospital site a number of these protected buildings have been refurbished and converted into flats and offices.

There are three public houses in the village.

The Blacksmiths Arms which can be found at the point where London Road forks into Sleaford Road (A15) and Grantham Road (A607).

Opposite on the western side of Grantham Road (A607) is the John Bull public house

The Homestead built in the late 1990s can be found on the nearby former hospital site.

The village has expanded over the years and today there is speculation of even more new housing.

The village is also home to the headquarters of the regional health authority.
