Alford

About

The Alford ward encompasses the market town of Alford and its surrounding rural parishes in the Lincolnshire Wolds. The area is characterised by agricultural land and smaller settlements like Well and Ailby. Alford town itself functions as a local service centre for the ward, with its historic market and independent shops. The landscape is gently rolling, typical of the Wolds, with fields and hedgerows defining the views.

A notable landmark is the five-sailed Alford Windmill, a fully working tower mill from the 19th century. The area includes part of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering walking routes through the countryside. The ward's economy remains closely linked to farming, with the weekly market continuing a long tradition of local trade and commerce.
