| Lincolnshire is primarily an agricultural area, much less populated than other areas so visitors can really feel away from it all. |
Stretching from the Humber to the Wash it's a great place for walking or cycling with the 147 mile Viking Way crossing Lincolnshire from
north to south. |
| The area was badly affected by the Black Death during medieval times and there's said to be remains of at least 235 of these abandoned villages dotted around the countryside. |
| The area is not quite as flat as people believe. The hills - known as the Wolds, form a ridge through the county but the Fens allows you to see neverending horizons. |
| Explore Lincoln with its awe inspiring cathedral or head for some good old-fashioned fun, at Skegness, where there are amusements for all. |
| Other pleasant market towns include Louth, Heckington, with its superb church and windmill and Grantham, where former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was born and grew up in a corner shop. There's a plaque at the spot at North Parade where she lived above her family's shop. |
