Boston is positioned on the East Coast and the Wash and
is between Skegness and Spalding. Bostons Church, St. Botolphs has been
described as Majestic, magnificent, so high and mighty, Boston Stump - a giant
amongst churches. Even after 700 years travellers visiting the busy town of Boston
can't fail to have been struck by the size and grandness of The
Boston Stump. St Botolph's tower reaches 272ft towards the heavens, an
outstanding monument to medieval stone masons. Look inside at the
memorials to some of Bostons famous sons, and its American connections.
Boston has always been a great trading centre. From the 13th century a
lively port, and today a thriving market town. Busy markets have been held
here for more than 450 years, now twice weekly - with fresh food auctions
and sales of everything from bicycles and tools to plants and antiques. An
excellent choice of family run and independent shops are situated nearby,
plus much to do and see. Explore the town's medieval street pattern with
two main streets following the river either side, smaller lanes and alleys
run in between making for a compact town where everything is
accessible by foot. Find cosy places to eat, take in the rich history.
There are sports and leisure, tours and theatre, and throughout the year a
full calendar of events.
Nearby, don't miss the RSPB
Freiston Shore reserve and Boston
Wash Banks, an outstanding example of environmental innovation. The
Maud Foster Mill is the country's tallest working windmill - see it at
work and climb to the top for some wonderful views. See Also - Fydell House - Hussey Tower - Blackfriars Art
