Lincolnshire covers a great swathe of green and pleasant countryside, from lush, rolling farmland to the dead flatness of the fens, via peaceful waterways. This lightly populated county is just sprinkled with old, stone market towns and little seaside resorts, connected by the old highways and byways lined with wonderful old coaching inns and some of the best pubs with rooms in Lincolnshire.
