Whaplode is a village and civil parish in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England.

When the parishes were originally laid out, a thousand or so years ago, in order to give each enough resources to provide a living, they were made long and narrow.

In this way each parish had its share of marsh for pasture and perhaps salt making, Townland for arable farming, and fen for fowling, thatch and turf.

The main village lies on the marine silt ridge, known as the Townlands, which rises between the former salt marsh and the former fen to be found around The Wash.

Whaplode has the highest ratio of sculptures to residents of any settlement in Lincolnshire.
