The obvious place to start a visit to Lincolnshire is Lincoln itself, an old and easy-paced city where the cathedral, the third largest church in England, remains the county's outstanding attraction. Northeast and east of here, the Lincolnshire Wolds band the county, their gentle green hills harbouring the pleasant market town of Louth , where conscientious objectors were sent to dig potatoes during World War II. The Wolds are flanked by the coast, so different from the rest of Lincolnshire, its brashness encapsulated by the mega resort of Skegness , though there are unspoilt stretches, too, most notably at the Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve .

Delightful Stamford , in the southwest corner of the county, is an alternative base, an attractive town where the narrow streets are flanked by a handsome ensemble of antique stone buildings, and next door stands one of the great monuments of Elizabethan England, Burghley House . From Stamford, it's a short hop east into The Fens , whose most diverting villages lie along the A17, a road that runs close to the old fenland port of Boston , now Lincolnshire's second town. On any tour of the Fens you'll pass some of the county's most imposing medieval churches . Several are worth a special visit, especially St Botolph's in Boston and St Andrew's in Heckington - seen to best advantage, like all the other churches of this area, in the pale, watery sunlight of the fenland evening.

Getting around Lincolnshire by public transport can be difficult. Lincoln is the hub of the county's limited rail network with regular services south to Sleaford and Spalding and east via Sleaford to

Heckington, Boston and Skegness. There are also links west to Grantham and Newark, in Nottinghamshire, both of which are on the main line from London to the Northeast. In addition, there are reasonable bus services between Lincoln and the county's larger market towns, like Louth and Boston, but amongst the villages you'll be struggling without your own transport. This is especially true as many of these villages are long and straggly, built along slight ridges as a precaution against flooding.
