Location Fulstow is positioned away from, yet convenient for, the A16 road and stands between the market town of Louth to the south and the larger business centre of Grimsby to the north. The village stands on the Greenwich Meridian line, being the only English village where this crosses the village centre and is referred to in the 1086 Doomsday Survey as Fugelstow.

The Grade II Listed church originates from the early 13th century and is dedicated to St. Lawrence. A village hall was built in 1986 and the village primary school dates back to the opening date in 1863. The Cross Keys public house stands in the village centre.

Louth and Grimsby each provide a wide range of shopping, recreational and schooling facilities and the area has many leisure facilities, including water sports at the neighbouring village of Covenham where the reservoir is located. The Lincolnshire coast is just a short drive away and has miles of nature reserves and sandy beaches and the area has contrasting countryside with unspoilt agricultural land along the coast and the scenic Lincolnshire Wolds to the west.
