Walkabout Market Rasen (528 Kb)|
This small town stands on the edge of the Wolds in the Eastern part of West Lindsey and on the direct route from Lincoln to Grimsby. It is thought that the name 'Rasen' derived from 'Rase', the Anglo-Saxon word meaning 'planks', perhaps referred more specifically to a plank bridge, which would have been used to cross the river.

Walkabout Caistor (523 Kb)|
The name Caistor comes from the Latin Word "Castra" (meaning camp) and this is how this little market town, perched on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, originated before the first Century AD. The occupying Roman forces established a camp here, probably drawn to the site by its natural defences, natural springs and the supply of iron ore at nearby Claxby. Evidence of Roman occupation is shown from coins found dating back from AD69.
