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.
