INFORMATION
ABOUT LOUTH

Georgian & Victorian Architecture

This vibrant town is a joy to explore. The charm of its ancient street pattern, the fine Georgian and Victorian buildings and wonderful open-air markets give the town a unique market-town atmosphere.

St. James' Church and its spire

The magnificent St James's Church, with its spire reaching 295 feet, can be seen from miles around. The ill-fated Lincolnshire Rising started here in 1536 and ended with the execution of the then vicar Thomas Kendall. The interior of the church is also fascinating, and well worth a look around when visiting the town.

Hubbard's Hills & Riverine Park

On the outskirts of the town lies Hubbard's Hills, a chalk, steep-sided valley. This glorious riverine park is a family favourite throughout the year.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Tennyson, born in nearby Somersby, went to King Edward VI Grammar School Louth, and lodged with his grandmother in a terrace house in Harvey's Alley (now called Westgate Place) from 1816 to 1820.

Meridian Line

Louth is unique in that it bridges two hemispheres as the Greenwich Meridian Line of zero degrees longitude passes right through. It is this feature, the town's history and the landscape that inspired the recently established Louth Art Trail.

Louth Canal & Riverhead Theatre

Near to the Louth Canal is the Riverhead Theatre, a brand new, state-of-the-art venue staging a wide range of productions and music throughout the year, from opera and classical to rock, dance and drama.

Cadwell Park & Motorsport

Just a few miles from Louth, set in the Lincolnshire Wolds, lies Cadwell Park, easily one of the most picturesque circuits and perhaps one of British motorsport's best-kept secrets. The 0.7 mile circuit was originally built for motorbike races in 1934, but today the two mile track has several features that are unique, particularly 'The Mountain' a short sharp incline that will see the more powerful machinery airborne!

Another great venue for motorsport is the Manby Motorplex off-road centre which includes a Rally School, 4x4, Skid Car Training, Juggernaut Experiences, and Early Driver Courses. Groups and individuals are catered for as well as Stag & Hen events and Corporate Entertainment.


Swimming, Golf, Tennis & Bowls

For those who like sport, the town has to offer an indoor swimming pool, golf, tennis and bowls.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Market Day: Wednesday (open air auction), Friday and Saturday

FAMOUS CONNECTIONS

Alfred, Lord Tennyson went to school at King Edward VI, and had his first book (with his brothers) printed at what is now the Oxfam Shop.
Captain John Smith went to school at King Edward VI - President of Virginia. Life was saved by Indian Princess, Pocahontas.
