AONB: Lincolnshire Wolds
Select Cities & Towns: Lincoln, Stamford, Chapel St Leonards
Everything for a perfect holiday or weekend break
Birthplace of one of the world's great scientists and one of the UK's most controversial politicians, home to some of Europe's finest architecture and England's most stunning towns, Lincolnshire offers pretty much everything for a perfect holiday or weekend break.
In the East Midlands with a long coastline facing out towards the North Sea. Surrounded by the East Riding of Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
Exceptional coast and some of the UK's best destinations
Most visitors head for the coast with destinations such as Cleethorpes and Skegness being particularly popular. Inland, you'll find the rolling hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB and some cracking destinations.
The city of Lincoln and the town of Stamford are as impressive as anything in the UK. Visit Lincolnshire for these alone.
Historical goodies and fine architecture
The county's a historical treat. Where the Pilgrim Fathers 'made their first attempt to find religious freedom across the seas' and where one of four copies of the UK's most important and famous legal documents resides.
And then there's that architecture. Lincoln Cathedral is simply magnificent and a masterpiece of English Gothic architecture. The county's country houses are essential visiting, too. Try Burghley House and Belton House.
Beaches and nature reserves
The coastline offers great beaches and a couple of top nature reserves. Donna Nook Nature Reserve is to the north, Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve to the south. On the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB, we'ed recommend trying the Snipe Dales Country Park and Nature Reserve.
For culture, visit the museum in Lincoln Castle and Museum of Lincolnshire Life. There are local museums at Louth, Skegness, Grantham and Grimsby.
Last, Lincolnshire has some wonderfully quirky details. Try the UK's first permanent cloud watching outpost called Anderby Creek Cloud Bar or look for the state protected beehive outside one of the oldest pubs in Grantham. There are loads or windmills, too!
