Countryside

Just a few miles from Lincolnshire’s coast uncover a landscape carved out by two ice ages.

Nestling among rolling chalk hills and fertile farmland, experience and enticing mix of character, history and charm. The Lincolnshire Wolds are an undiscovered gem where past and present entwine in a landscape celebrating country life. And if it’s the Great Outdoors that call ……welcome to perfect walking country.

Teeming with wildlife, the deep valleys and quiet streams of the Wolds have changed little since the days of Alfred Lord Tennyson, who was born here and one of England’s most popular poets. Discover his ‘haunt of ancient peace’ at Gunby Hall near Spilsby or visit picturesque Somersby, the poet’s childhood home.

Chance upon a sleepy stone village or spend a little longer in a timeless market town. 

This quiet corner of England is a simply heaven-made for those who love our countryside.
