Louth was voted the UK’s favourite market town by BBC Countryfile magazine – beating off opposition from the likes of Perth, Hay-on-Wye and Stamford.

The town , which has a population of just 17,500, nestles in the Lincolnshire Wolds, and has fought hard to retain it’s independent shops rather than become a clone town.

Much of the town centre is unchanged from the mid 19th century with Georgian and Victorian buildings lining streets.
