Visit the Lincolnshire Wolds

The Wolds is an area of outstanding natural beauty with rolling chalk hills in the centre of Lincolnshire stretching for 40 miles and rising to over 500 feet. It was the inspiration for Alfred Lord Tennyson who was born in the village of Somersby in a cottage Lincolnshire and studied at the Grammer school in nearby Louth.

The Lincolnshire Wolds is a nationally important and cherished landscape, much of which was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1973 on account of its high scenic beauty.
