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" for the past three years!

Visit the recently refurbished Louth Museum to find out about the history of one of the most perfectly preserved Georgian market towns. Market day is still held on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays with an auction market in the Cornmarket every Wednesday.

Louth is a great place for anyone who enjoys good food. There are bakers, butchers, cheeseshops, fishmongers and delicatessens to cater for every taste. Shopping is a pleasure because the people in the shops are so friendly and helpful.
