Lincolnshire is a county of contrasts ranging from the seaside resorts on the east coast to the rolling chalk hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds and the fenland area of the south-east. Lincoln became a thriving mediaeval settlement, evidenced by its magnificent cathedral and castle. The area was settled since prehistoric times, the Romans established the town of Lindum (present-day Lincoln) for retired legionaries, a number of churches date from the Saxon period and placenames provide a reminder of the area's Viking past.
During the Second World War Lincolnshire became 'Bomber County' as it was home to a large number of air bases. The coming of the railways in the 19th century created the seaside resorts of Skegness, Cleethorpes and Mablethorpe. It was from here that the daring Dambuster's raid was launched.
The county also boasts a proud cultural heritage. The writer Alfred Lord Tennyson
