Louth
is know as the Capital of the Wolds. It is one of the few towns situated
on the Greenwich Meridian line of zero degrees longitude - which means
part of it is in the Eastern and part in the Western hemisphere. The photograph
on the left shows St.James's Church, a 16th century treasure with the
tallest parish church spire in England - 295-feet.The friendly guides
will tell you all about the history of this amazing church. No wonder
this church has won the title "Tourist Church of the Year" more
than once! Visit Louth Museum to find out about the history of one of
the most perfectly preserved Georgian market towns.
Louth is a
great place for anyone who enjoys good food. Market day is still held
on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Lincolnshire was voted "Britain's
Favourite Food Spot" in a public poll. There are bakers, butchers,
cheeseshops, fishmongers and delicatessens to cater for every taste in
Louth. The Cheese Shop
in Eastgate was presented with an award for "'The Best Small
Food Shop in the U.K." in 2011. Shopping is a pleasure because the
people in the shops are so friendly and helpful. A lovely place to browse
for vintage and country style homeware and gifts is
Serendipity in Aswell Street.
Hubbard's
Hills is a popular place for family picnics, school field
trips and dog walking. Hubbard’s Hills formed as a glacial overspill
channel as the last ice age ended about 40,000 years ago. The river Lud
flows through it. It's a lovely place to enjoy nature, feed the ducks
and then have a lovely cuppa in the tearoom.
