Anderby

Anderby Creek Beach The weather had taken a turn for the worse by the time this photograph was taken in late afternoon - the earlier sunshine had gone to be replaced by rain and a cold wind. The sign proclaims this to be a child-friendly beach (whatever that actually means) but unsurprisingly there were no children, or anybody else for that matter, to be seen.

Anderby is a small coastal village located in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. Situated on the North Sea coast, it is about 8 miles northeast of the town of Skegness. With a population of around 300 residents, Anderby is known for its tranquil and picturesque setting.

The village is primarily residential and features a mix of traditional cottages and modern houses. The surrounding landscape consists of rolling countryside, farmland, and beautiful sandy beaches, making it an attractive destination for nature enthusiasts and beachgoers alike.

Anderby boasts a rich history, dating back to Roman times, and evidence of Roman occupation can still be seen in the area. The village is home to St. Andrew's Church, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 13th century. The church is known for its distinctive tower and beautiful stained glass windows.

One of the main attractions in Anderby is the Anderby Creek beach, which has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag status for its cleanliness and excellent water quality. The beach offers stunning views of the North Sea and is a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking. It also serves as a gateway to the Lincolnshire Coastal Path, a long-distance walking trail that stretches along the coast.

In addition to its natural beauty, Anderby is also home to the Cloud Bar, a unique landmark that was designed by artist Katie Paterson. The Cloud Bar is a wooden hut that allows visitors to experience the sound of different clouds through a series of recordings taken from around the world.

Overall, Anderby is a charming village that offers a blend of natural beauty, historical landmarks, and a peaceful coastal lifestyle.
