Louth has a population of around
17,000 but serves many more than this from the surrounding villages and welcomes
many visitors throughout the year for holidays. Consequently it has a superb
range of facilities and services creating an ideal base to discover the rest of
Lincolnshires' coast and countryside. Louth is easy to find - you won't miss it.
Travel from the Wolds towards the coast and you focus on St James' spire, 500
years old and 295 feet high, your first glimpse of Louth. As you get closer its
warm stone contrasts with the red brick and pantiles of the houses. A concoction
of different styles in an intricate network of streets. Altogether a satisfying
blend.
The town stands directly on the
Meridian line at 0°, so bridging two hemispheres, and on the River Lud, a more
visible divide. Not much has changed here. The ancient market square
echoes to the traders' cries as they offer their wares, there’s the produce
auction, the cattle market - its a perfect microcosm of rural life. Louth is
built in a wealth of styles, and is a mélange of masonry to delight and
fascinate. Discover Tennyson's legacy, and there’s a lively arts program to be
enjoyed, from drama to dance, classics to rock, recitals to readings - take the
Louth Arts Tour and enjoy.
Situated on the very edge of the town is Hubbards Hills, a
pretty valley and superb area of naturally-formed parkland which was given to
the town at the beginning of the century. Its riverside setting makes the
perfect Lincolnshire picnic location.
As well as the markets, the surrounding farmland provides
mouthwatering, fresh produce for the local shops, cafes and tea rooms, pubs and
restaurants. There are a vast array of independent shops selling all manner of
local produce all within a few minutes walk from All Seasons apartments on
Eastgate. There are a choice of restaurants from Turkish and Chinese to
traditional English cuisine and a varied selection of pubs, many dating back to
the 1800s and beyond. Louth, like many of the small towns in this area has
retained its traditional cinema and has a new theatre with stars performing all
season throughout the year.
For people on holiday the market is an ideal
place to get to know Louth and meet many people from Lincolnshire who will no
doubt share all the local news with
you. Lincolnshire has many market towns and as well as Louth there are very good
markets in Alford, Horncastle and of course the town of Grimsby and city of
Lincoln.
