If you fancy a day out in the surrounding countryside, Skegness
is the perfect base from which to discover Lincolnshire’s
Poacher Country. During your visit you will discover beautiful,
typically English countryside, peaceful woodlands, picturesque
villages, traditional market towns and the vibrant, historic
city of Lincoln.
 Alford
This ancient market town once served the farming community
with its cattle market and produce auction. The lively market
still continues every Tuesday. Alford
now features the Craft
Market on Tuesdays and Fridays through the Summer. The
main feature of Alford is the newly restored Manor
House which not only is fascinating to look around with
walkman guided tours but also serves wonderful light meals
and teas. However, if you fancy a pint of Real Ale and meal,
visit the Half
Moon Hotel and Restaurant.
Spilsby
Spilsby
is situated between the Lincolnshire
Wolds and the Fens. The town is host to a lively market
each Monday where many things are bought and sold, ranging
from vegetables and game to household goods. Lincolnshire's
most famous explorer, Sir
John Franklin - who discovered the North-West Passage
- was born in Spilsby
in 1768, and a bronze statue of him stands in the Market Place.
Lincolnshire Wolds
The rolling hills of Lincolnshire
are very attractive; great for holidays, biking, horse riding,
walking and living. We are a farming people that have raised
sheep, cattle and pigs for generations.
The Lincolnshire
Wolds are the highest point in eastern England between
Yorkshire and Kent. They are designated an Area of Outstanding
National Beauty. The fertile chalk hills have been shaped
by agriculture for more than 4,000 years.
Alfred
Lord Tennyson was born and raised in Somersby which is
in the heart of the Lincolnshire
Wolds and not far from Spilsby,
the birthplace of Sir
John Franklin.
