South Kesteven in southern Lincolnshire is a key destination on The Explorer’s Road, an exciting new touring route along Britain’s iconic Great North Road - the heritage highway of the modern day A1 road.
For two thousand years the English have travelled a highway which connects north to south along a 500km route through the historic and cultural heart of the nation. Midway along the A1, South Ketsteven is an ideal touring base for discovering our great heritage, stately homes and castles - and the nearby delights of Rutland, Lincoln and Newark.
Now curious travellers can use the Explorer’s Road to really get to know England - by exploring our traditions and eccentricities, enjoying the much-loved countryside, and discovering hidden attractions and landmarks known only to local people as you tour the Explorer’s Road.
The Explorer’s Road offers a huge variety of attractions and experiences. Each day you can choose from sightseeing at stately homes and castles, uncovering English history at fascinating and quirky museums, walking and cycling in stunning landscapes or exploring ancient market towns and historic cities.
Each evening we invite you to take your pick from traditional coaching inns and quaint bed and breakfasts to country house manors or boutique town hotels - and enjoy good food in good company served up with a warm welcome.
Discover unique, quirky and off the beaten track attractions and English experiences in and around Grantham, Stamford, Bourne and The Deepings.
