Gosberton Risegate or simply Risegate is a village in the civil parish of Gosberton and the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. It is 30 miles (50 km) south-east of the city of Lincoln, 5 miles (8 km) north of the town of Spalding, and 2 miles (3 km) west-southwest of the village of Gosberton.[1][2]
Gosberton Risegate and the village of Gosberton Clough to the west are conjoined as a 2 miles (3 km) linear settlement on the east to west B1397 road which runs along the south side of Risegate Eau (drain). Within Gosberton Risegate the B1497 is named 'Risegate Road', and in Gosberton Clough, 'Clough Road', the villages separated at a bridge over the Risegate Eau at the junction with Chesboule Lane, running north, and Beach Lane, running south. The B1397 and the village is mirrored at the north of Risegate Eau by the parallel 'Siltside' (road). The Risegate Eau starts 3 miles (5 km) west at the South Forty-Foot Drain, then flows through the village, and reaches the River Welland at the Risegate Outfall sluice in Algarkirk Marsh, 5.5 miles (9 km) to the east.[1][2][3]
