Lincolnshire is often described as 'The Secret County' - and perhaps a little surprising too. Imagine roads with few cars, miles of country walks away from the crowds, wide open sandy beaches... There's plenty to explore; Tattersall Castle (National Trust) is a short distance away, the Aviation Museum at East Kirkby is literally round the corner, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is housed at Coningsby nearby. Outdoor swimming pool, home of English Golf and a most unusual cinema (Cinema in the Woods) await you at Woodhall Spa about 15 minutes drive from the cottage. If you are looking for Antiques, try Horncastle (10 miles) described recently as Britain's Antique Town. |

Lincoln - A city of culture and entertainment
Lincoln offers history with its Castle, Cathedral and the historic Bailgate area (once the site of a Roman Colonnia), The Bishops Palace at the side of the Cathedral (English Heritage) is worth a visit, including one of the most northerly vinyards in Europe! A growing range of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues are also available in Lincoln which is currently undergoing something of a revival. Check out the Brayford Pool area where the new Lincoln University is developing fast - and is quite a contrast to historic Lincoln - here you can also take boat rides to see Lincoln from the waterside.
Local Towns
Haven't got time for a trip to the USA? Well within a few miles of the cottage you can visit both New York and Boston. The Pilgrim Fathers set off from Boston and today the town still has the feel of a port. You can climb the tower of Boston Stump for spectacular views over the county.
