Introducing Lincolnshire
A steady stream of movie makers searching for ready-made period sets find their quarry in the stunning stately homes and time-capsule towns of rural Lincolnshire. This sparsely populated corner of Eastern England has a reputation of being flat, plain and proper, although on closer inspection it’s remarkably varied and uncommonly friendly. County capital, Lincoln, is the perfect place to start, with a stunning Gothic cathedral, Tudor streetscapes and a dramatic hilltop location.

The gently rippling hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds smooth down to eastern marshlands and sandy coast, and the dyke-scored Lincolnshire Fens flat-iron the southeast. While flamboyant medieval wool-wealth churches, red-roofed stone houses and windmills grace many towns, here too you’ll find arms-in-the-air beach resort Skegness and rich wildlife reserves where the loudest din is birdsong.
