THE AREA

MARKET RASEN
Market Rasen was known as East Rasen until the 13th century when two fairs were held each year and a weekly market started. The village grew into a town and assumed the name Market Rasen. Today the town holds weekly markets on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and the Farmers' Market is held on the first Tuesday of the month.

Today local produce and speciality food is easily acquired in the town and surrounding villages - local bakers, butchers and tearooms, even handmade ice cream, chocolates and truffles. The varied selection of restaurants, cafes and pubs makes the town an ideal base for holidays.

LOUTH
This is a charming Wolds market town just twenty-minutes drive from East Farm. This traditional town has a bustling centre with market days on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, alongside the open-air auction 'on the Stones' every Wednesday afternoon. There is a variety of local speciality food shops that make Lincolnshire sausages, plum bread, stuffed chine, and sell Lincolnshire Poacher Cheese and butter, locally produced fruit, vegetables, fish and bread.

The town is watched over by the breath-taking church of St James's with its spire soaring to a height of 295 feet, the tallest parish church in the country.

There are many other things to visit in the town including the Museum, Navigation Warehouse and an excellent variety of pubs. The whole family will enjoy a night out at the brand new state-of-the-art Riverhead Theatre or at the multi-screen cinema.

This unspoilt town has many connections with historical events, such as the Lincolnshire Uprising, and with those who have made history including Alfred, Lord Tennyson, famous Poet Laureate and Captain John Smith whose life was saved by the Indian Princess Pocahontas.
