This is a difficult square to Geograph, with no easy access other than by the occasional direct train between Grantham and Ancaster. And then, as the train speeds along just the few hundred yards not in a cutting (with trees obscuring the view over half of that), just seconds in which to take a picture. — Jericho Wood Credit: Tim Heaton

Flat Cliff is a prominent geographical feature located in Lincolnshire, a county in eastern England. Contrary to its name, it is not actually a flat landmass but rather a hill or mountain, although its elevation is relatively modest compared to other mountainous regions. It is situated near the village of Welton le Marsh, approximately 6 kilometers northwest of the town of Spilsby.

Rising to a height of around 130 meters above sea level, Flat Cliff offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is composed primarily of limestone, which gives it a distinctive appearance and provides a suitable habitat for a variety of plant and animal species.

The hill is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts due to its scenic beauty and the opportunity to observe wildlife in its natural habitat. Additionally, the area surrounding Flat Cliff is dotted with walking trails and footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the picturesque landscape at their own pace.

Flat Cliff also holds historical significance, as it is believed to have served as a lookout point during World War II, allowing for the monitoring of potential enemy activity along the nearby coastline.

Overall, Flat Cliff in Lincolnshire offers a unique blend of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and historical interest, making it a must-visit location for those seeking to immerse themselves in the charm of the English countryside.

This unit forms part of an edge-of-town shopping complex adjacent to the busy A1 which is owned and operated by the company Oldrids. Founded in 1804, Oldrids have a proud heritage spanning over two hundred years. Starting out as a Draper’s store in Boston the company has continued to grow and innovate over time and were one of the first businesses in the UK to develop edge-of- town retailing in the 1970’s. This part of the site was developed in 1989 in a tie-up with Boundary Mills who lease half of the building. A separate Downtown branded garden centre was added to the site in 1998.
