Living in Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire is a lovely county to live in. Stretching the Humber to the Wash, from the Wolds in the North to the Fenland in the south, Lincolnshire is one of the largest counties in England covering an area of 588,000 hectares and has a growing population of 605,000.

With its wide open spaces, unspoilt countryside and coastal resorts both large and small, Lincolnshire has plenty to offer everyone. Contrary to popular belief, Lincolnshire is not all flat, with the rolling Wolds, and the Lincoln Edge on which Lincoln's historic Castle and Cathedral are built providing magnificent views.

Lincolnshire offers a diverse and fast growing economy, low unemployment, a healthy environment, low crime rates, health and education facilities well above the national average and affordable housing.

Travel in Lincolnshire is made easy by the straight, open roads of the County, good public transport and fast train connections to the Midlands and into London.

If your business interests or family ties take you further afield, there's easy access to the Midlands, London and the Continent, with superb road, rail, and air connections. The A1 and the East Coast Main Line to Kings Cross pass through the county, and Humberside airport, in the north of the county between Grimsby and Scunthorpe, has regular flights to UK and European destinations.

All this, plus regular market days, fair days and festivals, children's activity days and road shows, touring dramas and music events there really is something for everyone in Lincolnshire.
