Lying on the eastern edge of the Wolds, Louth is a busy Lincolnshire market town characterized by a maze of narrow streets and mostly Georgian and early Victorian architecture. That said, lovers of old structures would surely enjoy a visit here. It could even be quite the romantic trip just looking at different architectural styles of old. And if going for that option, don't forget to present some Louth flowers to your partner as a way of setting a romantic tone for the rest of the trip.

History

There is evidence of Louth being inhabited since the Paleolithic Era as evidenced by the discovery of handaxes in the wolds surrounding Louth.

In the 1770s, Louth became a major trading area thanks to the building of a canal that became a major thoroughfare. The town already prospered from the wool trade and the addition of the canal added more wealth.

In 1920, the river and canal flooded leading to the destruction of large areas of Louth and resulted in the death of more than 20 people. Following the opening of the railway, the town experienced a period of decline and the waterway was closed in 1924.

Today, the 18th-century wool warehouse located at the end of the canal is a restaurant and public meeting place which also features a display of the canal.

Attractions

Louth has a lot of attractions that will suit any interest, and here's a look at them:
