Barrow Hill is a small village located in Lincolnshire, England. Situated on a hill, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Despite its name, Barrow Hill does not have a mountain but rather a modest hill that adds to its charm.

The village is known for its picturesque setting and peaceful atmosphere. It is surrounded by lush green fields and meadows, creating a tranquil environment for residents and visitors alike. The hill itself is covered with grass and dotted with wildflowers, making it a popular spot for picnics and leisurely walks.

Barrow Hill is rich in history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to prehistoric times. The area has been inhabited for thousands of years, and remnants of ancient burial mounds can still be found on the hill. These barrows, as they are locally known, are a testament to the village's long-standing heritage.

The village itself is home to a small community, with a handful of houses and a local pub. The pub serves as a gathering place for residents and visitors, offering a warm and friendly atmosphere. It is also a hub for social events and celebrations, bringing the community together.

Barrow Hill is a hidden gem in Lincolnshire, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Its idyllic setting, rich history, and friendly community make it an ideal destination for those seeking a tranquil escape in the heart of the English countryside.

Church Open! St Mary and All Saints Church in Swarby.

A sign on the gate part way along the wall reads 'Church Open'.

Bang on 12:00 noon by my watch as my camera is still in British Summer Time!

Festive transport "hub" Ideal transport "hub" for a small settlement - and tastefully decorated too.  Anti-covid/delta/omicron measures include lots of fresh air and a physical reminder of what a 2m diameter circle really looks like so you can stay apart the requisite distance.

The only downside is that this is Christmas Day and there's no bus service running.

It's Jesus' day! The sign on the gate reads 'Church Open'.  On Christmas Day 2021, Jesus' free gift is open all year round!
