 Horncastle is a market town in the
East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire. Apart from the A1, which
passes through Lincolnshire on its way north, there are very
few dual carriageways to be found in the county. However, to
compensate this, there are several A roads and traffic is generally
light in the area. |
