The hidden places of Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire - David Gerrard

This is the 6th edition of a Hidden Places book on Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire which, although Lincolnshire, the second largest county in England remains relatively unknown. The Hidden Places of Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire will be printed in full colour and unlocks the secrets of this mainly rural county with some of the richest farmland in the country producing potatoes, sugar beet and flowers. Lincolnshire has strong historical connections with Holland and Scandinavia and is blessed with many picturesque villages and towns such as the majestic county capital, Lincoln, historic Stamford proclaimed as "the finest stone town in England" and Grantham the birthplace of Margaret Thatcher. It also explores the extensive coastline, which was the haunt of smugglers in the 17th and 18th centuries and is home for a number of traditional seaside resorts. Equally charming are the Lincolnshire Wolds with some of the most beautiful yet undiscovered countryside in England. The guide is packed with information and coloured photographs on the more secluded and little known venues for food, accommodation and places of interest as well as the more enduring attractions of the region.;The previous edition received excellent reviews - "a treasure-trove of "little gems", which attract attention and interest whilst providing essential information on where to stay. Different and definitely worth reading." - Lincolnshire Independent Newspapers. The attractive cover design incorporates photographs of the North Wolds near Nettleton Top, Grimsthorpe Castle and The Church of the Lord Tennyson Association.
