About

Horncastle sits at the confluence of the rivers Bain and Waring in the Lincolnshire Wolds. The town's layout is defined by its historic role as a market centre, with streets radiating from the central marketplace. The surrounding area consists of low-lying, often fen-like farmland, with the gentle slopes of the Wolds rising to the north and east.

The town is known for its many antique shops, which fill the Georgian and Victorian buildings along its narrow streets. A specific local feature is the presence of the remaining sections of the Roman wall, built from distinctive local stone, which can be seen embedded in later structures around the town centre.
