Nettleham
lies about 4 miles northeast of the city of Lincoln, regional centre
for Lincolnshire - one of the largest counties in England.
Dating
from Roman times, this historic city has grown into a thriving modern
University City. It has a magnificent cathedral as well as a medieval
castle in the uphill historic Bailgate area, which is linked to the
modern shopping and commercial centre by the famous cobbled Steep
Hill.
About 25 miles to the East lies the county's best-kept secret - The
Lincolnshire Wolds - an area of gently rolling hills and tranquil,
picturesque villages, which lead towards Louth - the 'capital' of
the Wolds and a scenic treasure in itself. |

The
miles of golden sands that are the Lincolnshire coast can be found
some 20 miles further east. Sometimes busy, but often not so, a walk
along the beach is certain to bring the colour to your cheeks.
Lincolnshire
is well known for its wartime connections with the Royal Air Force.
The Dambusters Squadron flew from RAF Scampton (3 miles away) and
The Dambusters Inn at Scampton has a large collection of memorabilia.
RAF Scampton is the present home of The Red Arrows and they can often
be seen practising their routines. The Battle of Britain Memorial
Flight is based at RAF Coningsby and the hanger is open to the public.
Coast or Countryside, Ancient or Modern, Lincolnshire has it all.
