Red Hill, near Goulceby: aerial 2023 (1) Nature Reserve containing a chalk escarpment and a disused quarry with a famous exposure of Red Chalk. This is rich in fossils, particularly belemnites and brachiopods. Below the Red Chalk there is a considerable thickness of Carstone, here a coarse, pebbly sandstone, and above it a thin capping of the white Lower Chalk.

St Martin's church, Scamblesby There was probably a church here in Anglo-Saxon times, and there are remnants of 12th C. fabric.
The chancel was rebuilt in 1890, and the nave in 1893 at a cost of £800. The architect was R. H. Fowler.

The church is built in green sandstone with limestone ashlar dressings and a slate roof.
There is a nave with a west bellcote, north and south aisles, a south porch and chancel. The north aisle has a reused 12th C. Lancet window.
One of the nave pillars is early Norman, taken from the demolished church of Cawkwell (now a deserted mediaeval village). <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/TF2879">TF2879</a>
The font is a large thirteenth century bowl with an octagonal pedestal.
Most of the internal fabric is 19th-century, however there are older poppy heads on the pews which were taken from Cawkwell church, they depict different characters including a possible Green Man.

There are several wall monuments, and the east window with a depiction of St Martin. There is no organ.
