Welcome To The Wolds, Horncastle Lincs. UPDATE

Nestled at the base of the Lincolnshire Wolds, a small market town (pop. ±6,000), an  Historic centre and lately known for it's antique, fashion coutre, curio & bric-a-brac shops.   Dinky sized High St Benefitting from being on the coast road to Skegness, tourists find Horncastle an inexpensive fuel stop, and increasingly, stay for their holiday, as the countryside is a relaxing bonus compared to the nearby crowded sea fronts.   Curios & Retro A town built on an easy N,S,E,W layout of a central conservation area sporting many bric-a-brac shops.   ✈  RAF Attractions & Memorablia ✈ Sheltered from all sides, perhaps the only place in the UK to not get any snow in one of the coldest March's (2013), or rain & wind in the heavy storms of 2014.   Walking, Hiking & Cycling The meteo forecast invariably unreliable and a thorn in the side of large rolling   Geographical counties like Lincolnshire, close to the on-sea breeze, with deep river valleys to North and South.   Small Independent Shops Hotels, B&B, Chalets and Guest Houses let one plan a vacation with   Shopping missions or trips to the surrounding countryside, seaside & attractions, whilst Restaurants, Tearooms & Takeouts provide varied cuisine.   Fine Food & Drinks Photo opportunities around the Grade 2 listed parish church, the old Georgian pubs & wharf buildings, tend to be rich in ornament.   Antiques, Ornaments, Replacement Crockery Vintage vehicle shows, and coastal runs-out, can bring old characters and familiar British engine notes from one's youth, with days of amusement and rememberance.   A Different View To Consumerism Horncastle's two or three rivers, surrounding woods and rolling countryside afford much   Spiritual wildlife and spotting photography, with the antiquity trade and host of small historic shops providing more quaint photogenic fayre.   Town Blue Plaque Trail A slower pace of   Living away from the Motorways and bracing sea air combine to make a healthy and memorable   Vacation, many visitors coming back to Lincolnshire for more holidays.   Practical Hobby Shops Local produce appeals to common sense, purse strings and taste, with Grimsby, Pasture and Crops in close proximity providing a   Self-Help to the people and economy.   Thursday & Saturday Traders Special Markets, Fayres, Festivals, Fetes & Celebrations maintain countrylife seasonal traditions and give visitors a glimpse of Britishness. Biblical Events One of the tallest towers in Europe already up at 450ft asl at Belmont, providing a foci for   Disaster, the earthquake epicentre of 2008, not quite bad enough to call on    Superman ..
