About Caistor

Caistor is a beautiful little town on top of The Lincolnshire Wolds – part of which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here's a map if you want to find us.

The town has a rich and interesting history including time as a Roman garrison and an important Georgian market town, much of which has been retained in the character of the streets and buildings today.

Its position at the northern gateway to the Lincolnshire Wolds gives it access to a range of interesting walks which include The Viking Way, the long distance footpath running 147miles from Oakham in Rutland to the River Humber, linking with the Wolds Way in Yorkshire.

Around Caistor lies some of the best undiscovered landscape in eastern England, with rolling hills of chalk downland, pretty villages and unspoilt countryside. From the Wolds south of Caistor there are spectacular views of Lincolnshire, north to the Humber Bridge, south to Lincoln Cathedral, west to the Trent Valley and east to the sea.
