The town is situated upon slightly elevated ground at the south western rim of the attractive rolling Lincolnshire Wolds. Spilsby benefits from an extensive south-east view of a tract of marsh and fen land, bounded by Boston deeps and the North Sea and is within twelve miles inland from the holiday centre of Skegness, on what many consider is the best part of the Lincolnshire coast.
The Wolds comprise a series of low hills and steep valleys underlain by calcareous chalk, green limestone and sandstone rock, laid down in the Cretaceous period under a shallow warm sea. The characteristic open valleys of the Wolds were created during the last ice age through the action of glaciation and meltwater.
