Lincolnshire's
Poacher Country lies in the east of England, south of the Humber and encompasses
much of the Lincolnshire Wolds and the East Coast.
The Wolds rise above the farmland with rolling hills, quiet streams and
woods. They are well known for their beautiful skies, as well as peace
and quiet. No wonder it's been designated an Area of Ourstanding Natural
Beauty.
There's
lots to do here: If you enjoy horse racing then Market Rasen is the place
to visit. The racecourse hold 19 National Hunt meetings with family fun
days and themed days. Or
if you like to play golf, in Woodhall Spa you can find Lincolnshire's
only championship course.
Visit Cadwell
Park racing circuits to watch one of the many races including the British
Superbikes in August. Or why not book a track day and feel the thrill
of the "Mountain" and the "Gooseneck" first hand.
There
are plenty of chances to snap up a bargain in the many antiques shops
in the area. Louth, Horncastle and Alford are all good places for a bargain
hunt!
The
village of Somersby is the birthplace of poet laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson.
He lived in Westgate Place, Louth with his grandmother and attended King
Edward VI Grammar School.
