In fact, the first thing a stranger notices on arrival in this unique region of open panoramas is that the heavens seem to go on forever, a daunting prospect for anyone more accustomed to hills and dales. lincoln self catering It comes down to the simple fact that, for the most part, Lincolnshire, with its endless possibilities for walking and cycling, is relentlessly flat, its horizons spotted with grain silos, church spires and windmills. The only natural highpoints can be found in the Wolds, a range of chalk hills to the east, and in the city of Lincoln itself, which rises haughtily atop a limestone escarpment above a seemingly endless plain. Approaching this historic city on a misty morning is a surreal experience. Like the rest of East Anglia, the county exudes a sense of isolation, with the North Sea holding it back in the east, the Wash restraining it in the south and the Humber acting as its northern border. Yet this region of peat-rich soil, criss-crossed by canals, drainage ditches and rivers such as the Lymm and the Witham, is Britain’s most important vegetable garden. Alford Windmill - Photo: Lincolnshire County Council Farmers here grow everything from the humble carrot to the classy asparagus, not to mention a staggering number of flowers. The county grows half of Britain’s bulbs while Spalding - also known as ‘Tulip Land’ - comes alive in spring when its fields look more like multi-coloured oil paintings. The county’s roots date back beyond the Romans who vanquished a British tribe known as the Coritani. In the 9th century the county was divided into ‘wapentakes’ by the Vikings who gave many of the towns Scandinavian-style names. It became strategically critical during the Second World War when numerous RAF squadrons - including the Dambusters - flew from its airfields to attack Germany. Many of these, along with several important aviation museums, today draw crowds anxious to hear the full story of this turbulent time. On display are famous planes such as Spitfires and Lancaster bombers. The county’s rolling countryside extends to the coast, which boasts long, sweeping, often wild beaches around popular seaside resorts such as Cleethorpes, Skegness, Mablethorpe and Sutton-on-Sea, all favourites of the Victorians. The fertile, low-lying Fens around The Wash are the result of a centuries-long battle to hold back the tide. In the 17th century a Dutchman, Cornelius Vermuyden, succeeded in draining this watery landscape only to see it sink below sea level. Today it is a magical mixture of picture-postcard villages and reclaimed tranquillity, providing a unique habitat for creatures such as the otter. Although the county hosts a large number of traditional markets, there are few towns of any great size. The most notable are Grimsby, lincoln self catering whose museums celebrate the North Sea fishing industry, and the ‘capital’ Lincoln, famous for its fabulous, triple-towered cathedral, the third largest in the country after St Paul’s and York Minster lincoln self catering. This is a masterpiece of the medieval age, rising up to 365 feet and boasting a curious variety of architectural styles. Within is one of only four copies of the Magna Carta. Riverside Cafes, Lincoln - Photo: Lincolnshire County Council Here the visitor will also find the remains of a castle built by William the Conqueror and in the cathedral’s Gothic arches can be seen the ‘Lincoln Imp’, a stone gargoyle in the form of a cross-legged devil. By the time of the Norman Conquest, Lincoln was one of Britain’s largest cities with a formidable military base and a booming trade in wool (hence ‘Lincoln Green’, as worn by none other than Robin Hood!). lincoln self catering Today it is a combination of ancient and modern; Uphill’s narrow cobbled streets and the only Roman arch still used by traffic contrast with a 21st century shopping experience. Cadwell Park Racing Circuit, Nr Louth - Photo: Lincolnshire County Council A little south, in the Lincolnshire Vales, are scores of pretty villages, historic buildings and lavish country houses set amidst beautiful, rolling countryside. Both the scientist Sir Isaac Newton and the former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher grew up here under expansive, freedom-loving skies. If any of these attractive features lures you to Lincolnshire there is one more thing you should know. The pub grub in this part of Britain has few equals!

Welcome to Ashleigh

Ashleigh is a fully modernised Victorian quality comfortable terraced house, which still retains much of its charm, character and some original features. The house, with two bedrooms which can sleep up to three is located in a quiet Cul-de-Sac with street parking, and is only fifteen minutes walk or a short bus ride from Lincoln City centre.

Lounge - Lincolnshire Self-Catering Beneath the skyline of one of Europe’s most beautiful Cathedrals lies a city spanning two millenniums of history and heritage, which is ranked among the UK’s Top 10 cities, so it’s no surprise that Lincoln rates as having one of the friendliest atmospheres of any historic city.

It’s an ideal centre for walks around the city, such as the 12th Century Cathedral, or the 900 year old Norman Castle, which houses one of the four original Magna Carta signed by King John from 1215.

Pay a visit to the medieval Guildhall or wander through the picturesque Bailgate area with speciality shopping and dining. Wander down the famous Steep Hill and stop for a moment at the 900 year old Jews House. Maybe catch a show at the Theatre Royal or look at the many Roman remains and artefacts in the brand new (2005) City Museum, from here stroll a short distance to the Brayford Waterfront and enjoy the bars, restaurants, water based fun and many entertainments.

Dining Room - Lincolnshire Self-Catering Also pay a visit to Europe’s biggest Christmas Market usually held for four days in early December. This market was first envisaged in 1982, and was based on an idea from Lincoln’s twin town Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in Germany which now boasts 300 stall holders and 200,000 visitors annually.

The city also boasts many lush green spaces offering peaceful retreats such as Lincoln’s restored Arboretum, regarded as one of the UK’s finest Victorian parks (only 5 minutes walk from Ashleigh) or venture further into the countryside and experience a feeling of space created by a patchwork quilt of open farmland, broken by its towers, ancient windmills and distant churches.
