Cleethorpes attractions |
|
 Cleethorpes is in the county of Lincolnshire, a rural
area of rolling countryside extending to the coast with long
sweeping beaches and popular seaside resorts. There are quaint
country market towns, imposing medieval churches, castles and
appealing villages. Lincoln itself is the region's outstanding
attraction, its cathedral is the third largest church in England.
The flat extensive fenlands of Lincolnshire are home to one of
the last areas in the country to rely on wind power in its mills,
where the remains of more than 130 windmills can be found. The
beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds with open rolling hills and steep
deep-sided valleys are a recognised Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty. photo left: Cleethorpes. |

Cleethorpes
Pier was built in 1872 and opened on August Bank Holiday 1873.
It now measures 335 feet compared to its original 1200 feet.
The end used to reach the water even in low tide because of its
length. The pier is celebrating its 127th birthday in 2000. In
1985 it was transformed into a modern night club which held about
700 people. In Cleethorpes. |
