Alkborough, Lincolnshire

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Located at the junction of three rivers; the ouse, Humber, and Trent. A treasure trove for heritage hunters, Alkborough features an 11th century Norman church, in addition to a Roman camp. The camp is named the Countess Close, after Countess Lucy, wife of the Norman Lord Ivo Tailbois. In addition, there is an intriguing turf maze called Julian's Bower, one of the last original turf mazes in the country. The maze is 13 metres in diameter, and is thought to date to the Roman period.
