If you ask any Yellowbelly, they will tell you Lincolnshire is great.
However, our location often means many people around the country haven’t even heard of our county and even if they have, many won’t know where it is.
And unfortunately for them that means they are missing out on a lot of things to see and do.
Therefore at Lincolnshire Live, we decided to come up with just 20 things that those people are missing out on.
Lincoln Cathedral
Lincoln’s Cathderal is a true work of art.
If you look around the famous landmark you can see the history emanating out of every stone.
And the view from pretty much anywhere is the city is truly a sight to behold.
Lincoln Castle
Lincoln Castle is dripping in history.
Walks around and tours are available to see Victorian prisons and the medieval architecture up close.
And the views of the city aren’t too bad either.
Family fun at the coast
Lincolnshire’s coast really has something for everyone.
Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea are very relaxing and Skegness is always brimming with tourists.
You can relive your youth in the arcades or enjoy a family picnic together.
It’s fair to say the coast provides a completely different experience to city life.
Take a walk up Steep Hill and enjoy a drink in the Bailgate
Anyone’s conception that Lincolnshire is completely flat is always put to the test when they see Steep Hill.
The cobbled street is lined with independent shops, art galleries and tea rooms.
And close-by is the Bailgate, a unique part of Lincoln – perfect for a cup of tea and a bit of cake.
Deer park at Belton Woods
Built for Sir John Brownlow in the 1680s, Belton House is a classic English country home.
It’s rural setting means it is also rich in wildlife and visitors can see a designated deer park – home to around 300 fallow deer.
Horse trials Burghley House
The Burghley Horse trials are held every year and attract some of the greatest riders from around the world.
People from far and wide gather for the spectacle to indulge in three days showcasing incredible skill and talent.
And sometimes we can even watch royalty.
Lincolnshire Show
One of the top shows in the country, the annual event spoils visitors with a range of activities and stalls on display.
The popular event attracts huge crowds every year embracing Lincolnshire’s rich agricultural history.
You can also treat your pallet with great food as well as meeting a lot of the businesses based in our county.
Lincoln Christmas Market
The famous market’s stock just keeps on rising and rising.
Thousands flock from all corners to indulge in the great food and drink on offer.
With more than 200 stalls there really is something for everyone.
A packed out Sincil Bank
Not many football fans will have enjoyed their trip to Sincil Bank in recent years with Lincoln City proving tough opponents to beat under Danny Cowley.
That success has seen fans return in their droves and has created a new army of supporters as well.
The wall of noise the City faithful, led by the 617, on matchdays in lethal and helps to make the Imps home ground a real intimidating place to go.
But if you aren’t bothered about the result and fancy a decent atmosphere, Lincoln City is the place to go – although good luck getting a ticket these days!
Magna Carta
The historic document is over 800 years-old and is a symbol of liberty and freedom.
Only four original copies remain and you can see one right here in Lincoln at the castle.
Lincolnshire Wolds Railway
People in Lincolnshire have the luxury of being able to get on board a historic steam train.
Lincolnshire Wolds Railway operates on a stretch of line that was once part of the Great Northern route from Boston to Grimsby.
Heritage steam trains once again run between Ludborough and North Thoresby and work is now in progress to extend the line southwards towards Louth.
Red Arrows display
The Red Arrows are based at RAF Scampton – although they might not be for much longer.
The famous flying display year regularly practice in the Lincolnshire sky so if you haven’t seen them live before, then you almost definitely will here.
Lost Village Festival
The up and coming festival is proving more and more popular each passing year.
The four-day event is held in secluded woodland close to Norton Disney and attracts some of the finest DJs and music from around the world.
This year’s event has just finished but it will be back again next year.
Donna Nook Seals
A chance to see nature in its natural habitat is always a sight to behold – and you can do that right here in Lincolnshire.
Every winter people flock to have a lock at the seals at Donna Nook nature reserve.
The reserve stretches 6.25 miles of coastline between Grainthorpe Haven in the north and Saltfleet in the south where it borders the Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe National Nature Reserve.
People are able to watch from a safe distance so they don’t disturb either.
Egg throwing championships
The 14 egg throwing championships was held in Swaton near Sleaford earlier this year.
More than 1,000 people attend and previous winners have come all the way from New Zealand – how eggciting.
1940s weekend
Tens of thousands of people line the streets every year in celebration of the 1940s Festival in Woodhall Spa.
The weekend long event includes live music performances and a number of diplays to truly transport you back to that era.

The popular Ingoldmells attraction has a range of rides for everyone to enjoy.
It also plays host to Europe’s largest seven day market so there really is something for everyone

Issac Newton’s tree
In 1665, the plague forced Isaac Newton to return to Woolsthorpe Manor in Grantham where he was born.
For 18 months Newton worked in solitude, experimenting obsessively at the home.
In the 17th century manor house you can stand in the room where he used a prism to split sunlight into the colours of the rainbow, exploring the nature of light.
And from the window you can see the apple tree in the orchard which inspired his theory of gravity.
