Wainfleet

Batemans Brewery in Wainfleet An ancient port and market town on the east coast of Lincolnshire – now a great place for holidays – a good base for visiting Skegness and the Coast. Wainfleet stands on the Steeping River. The town is famous for Magdalen College, Barkham Street and Batemans Beer The small town of Wainfleet is situated 5 miles inland from the busy seaside town of Skegness in Lincolnshire, but feels as if it’s 50 miles away!! The town may be small but it has a big heart, and a completely different ambience to its coastal Auntie. The River running through it is the River Steeping with the local section known as the ’Haven’, or safe harbour. On the bank of the Haven sits Batemans Brewery which supplies its Wainfleet brewed “Good Honest Ales” to Lincolnshire and many other parts of the world. Tours and excellent food and drink are available daily there. Between the Brewery and the Town runs a main Railway Line with Wainfleet’s own Station, Trains stop regularly there during each day. The town is also well served by local bus services and a daily National Coach service to London

Burgh-le-Marsh

This small market town is home to several pubs and eating houses, popular with residents and visitors alike. The most famous land mark is the windmill near to the market place. The mill was built by Sam Oxley of Alford in about 1813. It has five storeys and had unusual left-handed sails which meant that the sails rotated clockwise until they collapsed during windy storms in 2020. It contains much of its original equipment.  There is a milling museum which includes a Blackstone Diesel engine. Be sure to visit The White Hart – famous for its carvery and fish and chip suppers. The Fleece in the Market Place has a wide variety of food; or perhaps a stroll to the Bell or the Olde Guest House, with a final pint at the Red Lion; nearly a different pub for each day of the week!

Alford

This ancient market town once served the farming community with its cattle market. Market stalls including an excellent fish stall, still continues in the Market Place every Tuesday. Alford now also features the Craft Market on Tuesdays and Fridays through the Summer.
