Perhaps the most noticeable characteristic of Lincolnshire, is the market towns. Beautiful locations, undiscovered charm, friendly people, fabulous food… all can be found in the picturesque historic market towns and village hamlets of Lincolnshire. The name ‘Lincolnshire’ is of course from the city of Lincoln, whose name literally means ‘lake/pool colony’. It combines the brythonic word ‘lynn’ with the Latin word ‘colonia’. This translates to ‘town by the pool’. The water which flowed into the fields enabled Lincolnshire to develop its farming, the produce of which was sold in the markets of the county. The high quality produce resulted in a reputation drawing traders from other parts of the country. The history of the county continues to this day, making it one of best counties for markets, and fresh produce. Lincolnshire offers a fabulous retreat to economical and ergonomic living. But it is also ‘on the map’! • 20 minute drive to Lincoln • 50 minute drive to Hull • 120 minutes to Robin Hoods Bay • 150 minutes to Newcastle • 90 minutes to Malton
