The Sleepy Town Of England
The Lincolnshire Wolds are at the edge of Market Rasen. These beautiful groupings of hills are a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. The North Sea runs parallel to them and they are the highest land mark in eastern England.
The town developed mostly in the Victorian Era but a fifteenth century church St. Thomas Church still exists in the community today. At a glance the town is a traditional market village. There are some Georgian buildings and the shop fronts are the original creations still unchanged after all these years; adding to the overall charm of the area.
Market Rasen is most known and appreciated for its Racecourse. It is a famous National Hunt Course that many come to take part in. There are weekly race nights and Jump racing every month as well as special events all throughout the year.
Visitors can also enjoy the Golfing in Market Rasen. There is a Par 70, eighteen hole course that legitimately boasts of being the most beautiful in the county. The River Rase flows right through the course offering a natural hazard other than the pretty tree lined fairways. If golf is not the event of choice there is always rugby. The town has a rugby team that has been around since 1952. The club is known for the welcoming attitudes and friendly behaviour.
The market days are Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and on the Tuesday shop there is an auction for goods and produce.

Traveling in England and Scotland
Have you ever dreamed of traveling in England, Wales and Scotland and really getting to know the people, society and culture? Well, there is no better way to do that than to travel and stay at bed and breakfast locations throughout. It's a way to get a true feel of it all and soak up the culture and history all at the same time, meeting fellow travelers, guides and meeting the folks whose heritage and ancestry has roamed, worked and owned the land for 10s of generations.
Bed and Breakfast travel is the way to see it all and see it as it is, without all the plastic signs and tourist traps creating a façade of non-reality. If you are with me on this concept and want to learn more about it all, well then, may I be so bold as to tell you of my own travels and the book I used to do it? Okay then, let me recommend this very special and informational guide to the bed and breakfast stays in England, Wales and Scotland:
"The Best Bed and Breakfast; England, Scotland, Wales" by Mortimer, Wells and Darbey; published by U.K.H.M. Publishing Ltd.
This book is fully illustrated and during my travels from California's LAX to Heathrow, I had ample time to read through it and see all the pictures, thinking wow, I wonder if it is as they say. It is, it truly is. In this guide each city shows lists of bed and breakfast stays and compares them to each other in a simple easy to read chart.
This book is a must buy for the seasoned travel that likes to get a little off the beaten path, I highly recommend it for your personal travel library. I can say this from personal experience; this is the bible of bed and breakfast travel for Scotland, Wales and/or England, think on this.
