Few counties in Britain can rival the cultural heritage and leisure opportunities that Lincolnshire enjoy.
Lincolnshire (Lincs) is a county in the East Midlands of England, traditionally the second largest after Yorkshire. It borders Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Rutland, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, East Riding of Yorkshire and (for just 19 metres, England's shortest county boundary) with Northamptonshire. The county town is Lincoln.
Mainly agricultural, Lincolnshire stretches from the southern border with Norfolk at the Wash to the Humber in the north where it meets Yorkshire.
It is a county of contrasts, going from flat, marshy land (much of it reclaimed from the sea) via the rolling Lincolnshire Wolds in the middle of the county to another flat low lying area near the major fishing port of Grimsby.
Lincolnshire is the administrative, geographic, and historic county in eastern England, extending along the North Sea coast from the Humber estuary to the Wash. The administrative, geographic, and historic counties cover slightly different areas. The administrative county comprises seven districts: East Lindsey, West Lindsey, North Kesteven, South Kesteven, South Holland, the borough of Boston, and the city of Lincoln. The geographic county encompasses the entire administrative county, as well as the unitary authorities of North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire. The historic county is nearly coterminous with the geographic county, except for a few small areas on the northwestern fringes of the North Lincolnshire unitary authority that belong to the historic county of Yorkshire. Lincolnshire contains two prominent upland areas, which cross it from north to south. The more westerly, and narrower, is Lincolnshire Edge, a limestone escarpment rising abruptly on its western side and upon which the city of Lincoln stands. Separated from the Edge by a clay lowland are the Lincolnshire Wolds, an area of rolling chalk hills. Between the Wolds and the coast lies an area known as the Lincoln Marsh - its southern end it merges into the low-lying area of the Fens, which surrounds the Wash and has been the scene of drainage and reclamation efforts at least since Roman times.
