Bargate Hill is a prominent landmark located in Lincolnshire, England. Classified as a hill rather than a mountain, it sits approximately 3 miles northwest of the town of Louth. Rising to a height of 168 meters (551 feet) above sea level, Bargate Hill stands out in the otherwise flat landscape of Lincolnshire.

The hill is formed by a mixture of chalk and limestone, giving it a distinct appearance. It is known for its steep and grassy slopes, which are often covered in wildflowers during the summer months. The top of Bargate Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, with the Lincolnshire Wolds visible in the distance.

Bargate Hill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and nature lovers. It offers several walking trails that cater to different fitness levels, allowing visitors to explore its diverse flora and fauna. The hill is home to a variety of plant species, including rare orchids, and it provides a habitat for a range of birds and butterflies.

In addition to its natural beauty, Bargate Hill is also steeped in history. It is believed to have been an Iron Age hillfort, with evidence of ancient settlements and burial mounds found in the area. The hill has also played a role in more recent history, serving as a vantage point during World War II for spotting enemy aircraft.

Overall, Bargate Hill in Lincolnshire is a striking and historically significant landmark, offering visitors a chance to enjoy both natural beauty and a glimpse into the region's past.

Lay-by, Asgarby You can get some idea of the gloom from the headlights on passing vehicles. It's raining fairly steadily. This is the spot from which <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4792202">TF1145 : Towards the church at Asgarby</a> was taken.
