Torksey, Lincolnshire

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A village in north western Lincolnshire, Torksey was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, but it has a history going back much further; the Roman canal called the Foss Dyke crosses the River Trent here through a series of locks. There are attractive walks along the river and canal. Beside the river is the remains of the 16th century manor house, Torksey Castle, which fell into disuse after its destruction in the Civil War. Three miles away is Stow Minster, a superb Saxon church.
