Lincolnshire Day was first celebrated in 2006 to celebrate all things Lincolnshire, and it also marks the date of the Lincolnshire Rising in 1536 which led Henry VIII to quite wrongly describe Lincolnshire as "The most brute and beastly shire of the whole realm..."!
Inspired to explore the area after this great review?!
Continue exploring the area throughout October - for those who enjoy an autumnal walk don't forget the series of Stepping Out Walks are available to download for free from the Hill Holt Wood website.
