Jump to: navigation, search

Lincolnshire[1] is one of the larger, eastern counties of the East Midlands region of central England, with a predominantly flat terrain briefly interrupted by the coastal Lincolnshire Wolds. The economy of Lincolnshire is largely agriculture with some tourism predominantly centred around the seaside resorts of Skegness and Mablethorpe and in the historic cathedral city of Lincoln.

[edit] Regions

North Lincolnshire and North-east Lincolnshire are unitary authorities (i.e. they provide all local government services in their areas.) Surprisingly they are in a different region (Yorkshire and Humber) from Lincolnshire County Council (East Midlands.)

[edit] By car

The only practical way to get about Lincolnshire is by car, for most public transport has but intermittent service and restricted geographical coverage. Though take note that many of the backroads are narrow and bent, and therefore rather dangerous to the unwary.

Many roads have been designated 'Red Routes' by the police, and are signposted along their length. These are roads which have a high accident/casualty rate, and warn motorists to be extra careful.
