Visit North Lincolnshire Today!
With traditions going back hundreds of years, historic market towns and vibrant festivals there's always something going on in North Lincolnshire.
Every village has its own story to tell. Owston Ferry with its Victorian Smithy and village museum, Wrawby with its 17th century post mill and Haxey, home to the mysterious 'Hood' game held every year on twelfth night.
It makes for a delightful voyage of discovery. Let us give you a few ideas...
Perhaps best known for its famous son, John Wesley, Epworth is a great place to explore the birth of world Methodism. A steam train ride through the Corus steel making plant tells the story of the great Victorian Ironmasters who shaped the town of Scunthorpe and Barton upon Humber's buildings tell the story of wealthy sea merchants, rope and tile making.
From the ruins of Thornton Abbey, with one of the most spectacular 14th century gatehouses in Europe, to the trolleybus museum at Sandtoft, there's plenty to keep you occupied.
No visit to North Lincolnshire is complete without a day at Normanby Hall Country Park. The ancestral home of the Sheffield family, it has a costume gallery, period rooms and farming museum. Set in 300 acres of parkland and landscaped gardens, the Victorian walled garden, deer park, cafe and two adventure play areas keep everyone amused.

Burton Stather Tank Ramp

The old Tank Ramp lies north of the village of Burton Stather on the eastern bank of the River Trent, immediately below the steep escarpment that forms the northern end of the Lincoln Edge (Centre: OS grid ref SE 8662 1896). It was built at the beginning of WWII by the 79th Armoured Division of Royal Engineers and saw military use until around 1948. It primary purpose was for secret testing of amphibious craft and associated ancillaries, many of them prototypes, prior to their use in conflict (or as often happened, abandoned as examples of how not to do it!). The Burton site was chosen as the River Trent at this point, with its muddy banks and silted tidal flow, very closely matched that of European rivers such as the Rhine.
The Burton Stather Heritage Group has been working since May 2009 to renovate the Tank Ramp, and the site has been much improved, with the addition of new pathways and steps down to the ramp, picnic areas under construction, and new benches and seats.
Full details of how to access the site are available on the BSHG website.

Julian's Bower

Located high up on the Trent Ridge, Julians Bower is a medieval turf maze steeped in mystery. The nearby village church has an illustration of the maze at its entrance but it secret remains untold.
Easier to discover are the spectacular views from the maze you can see for miles across the confluence of the rivers Ouse, Trent and Humber, even as far as York Minster on a clear day.
Alkborough Flats and the Paddocks Tearoom are just a few minutes away or you can stay to enjoy the peace and quiet.
