Today I have been visiting the county of Lincolnshire!

My intended destination was the seaside town of Skegness, on the way I planned to visit the Sibsey Trader Windmill.

As it is part of English Heritage and the fact that I am a member, it was free for me to get in! For non EH at the time of my visit £2.50 will let an adult wander up and down the windmill!

From looking around the small shop it looked like they still make flour there as there was some available to purchase!

I then spent a few hours enjoying Skegness, after having a bag of chips and a waffle for desert, I headed back towards home...



On my way back I first of all stopped off at Bollingbroke Castle which is free for anyone to visit and is an ideal place for a picnic! You can wander around the remains of the castle and if you have time there is a public footpath throught the surrounding countryside right next to the site.

I then stopped off at what is left of the Tattershall College and to be honest it's not really worth a special visit, but if you happen to be passing and want to kill 2 minutes then you might want to take a look!
