Antique Sh0ps

Horncastle was once “The Antiques capital of Lincolnshire”, quite apt considering the amount of this type of premises. Each shop has its own unique features, styles and prices. A feature of many an antique show, including BBC’s Bargain Hunt, there are shops that specialise in antiques, while others concentrate on timepieces, collectibles, or bric-a-brac. You never know who you might meet whilst searching for a deal. One thing is for sure, they all have plenty of choice and are well worth a look.

Lincolnshire Wolds

The Lincolnshire Wolds is a living, working landscape with woodland, grassland and abandoned chalk pits providing important habitats for rare flowers and wildlife. The Wolds were designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1973 following considerable local campaigning. This designation means the landscape is some of Britain’s finest countryside.

Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre

The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre is a family run museum that was set up over 20 years ago. It is now widely seen as a living memorial to the 55,500 men of Bomber Command who lost their lives during World War Two. It holds one of the rarest aircraft – an Avro Lancaster Bomber – in its collection along with many wartime vehicles including a Ford WOT1 Crew Bus, the only one of its kind known in existence.

They feel that Bomber Command has never been given the recognition that it deserves and see it as their job to educate both old and young as to the acts of heroism and dedication shown by Bomber Command throughout the Second World War.
