main beach at sutton on sea where the colanade is located is a blue flag beach, lovely clean bright sands. even the areas further north and south where dog walkers go are lovely and clean - some days even in the summer you get the beach all to yourself

We passed this place today and we're sad to see it closed and for sale. I would check before you aim for it as a pit stop.

This church in Louth, a place of prayer for many centuries and dedicated to St. James as its patron saint, is closely intertwined with a very specific moment in English history that took place almost five centuries ago. In British history, this moment in October 1536 is known as the "Lincolnshire Rising." This uprising was a protest against King Henry VIII, particularly his actions following his separation from his wife, which led to the English Church splitting from the Roman Catholic Church.
