The Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a nationally important and cherished landscape, home to some of Britain’s finest countryside.

Whether you’re visiting for the day, staying for a weekend or longer, you’ll find your days are packed with things to do, places to visit and experiences you’ll never forget.

With miles of open countryside and natural beauty waiting to be uncovered, the Lincolnshire Wolds is the perfect place to enjoy the great outdoors. For nature lovers, cyclists and walkers alike, the scenic trails and tranquil views make it an absolute paradise.

Discover the rich culture and heritage behind the charming market towns and villages nestled in and around the Wolds. The towns of Alford, Caistor, Horncastle, Louth, Market Rasen and Spilsby all have historic markets at least once a week where you can see and smell the quality of local food being produced.

Throughout the year there are numerous special events and festivals that take place across the Wolds and surrounding market towns.

Over 150 of these fabulous events are featured in this listing.
