A MARKET TOWN WITH WOLDS CHARACTER
SHOP, DISCOVER, THEN WALK
Begin around the market place and independent shops, then visit St James’ Church with its landmark spire. Louth Museum adds local archaeology and social history on its seasonal opening days.
Hubbard’s Hills provides a very different second half: a wooded valley and stream walk on the edge of town. It is free to visit and works well for a picnic or gentle family stroll.
