Market Rasen Hotels and Guest Houses

With a population that just barely tops out over three thousand, nobody will be mistaking Market Rasen for a metropolis any time soon. This suits the small town of Market Rasen just fine, though, and anybody who has ever visited the town knows that it is one of the most quaint and beautiful villages in the county of Lincolnshire or even Britain as a whole. Much of the reason for Market Rasen's stately beauty has to do with the fact that the town is located within the beloved Lincolnshire Wolds. For those not in the know, the Lincolnshire Wolds are considered to be one of England's greatest natural treasures. Deemed an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Lincolnshire Wolds offer beautiful rolling cliffs and hills with incredible chalk, sandstone, and limestone rock scattered throughout. This proliferation of color blends perfectly with the natural flora of the area and the North Sea juts out at the very end of the Wolds to deliver a stunning seascape amid the lovely scenery. Market Rasen sits right amid this lovely paradise and, not surprisingly, it is endowed with the gorgeous appearance that is prevalent all over the Wolds.

The man made features of Market Rasen also do justice to the aforementioned natural beauty of the land. Market Rasen is dominated by downright gorgeous homes that date back to the Georgian era of architecture as well as the Victorian era in certain places. These lovely 19th century homes generally use red brick and thus they hold up well even to this day. A walk through Market Rasen can often feel akin to strolling through a living, breathing history book and as such historians and architecture buffs alike share a love for the small but unique village. For those who like their history to date a bit further back there is a wonderfully refurbished church that has stood in Market Rasen since the Middle Ages.

As with most small towns, Market Rasen and its citizens thrill at the prospect of sporting events more than anything else. Rugby is a big deal in the town and several golf clubs can be seen when traveling throughout the town. Market Rasen also boasts its own racecourse for the racing of thoroughbred horses and it isn't surprising that this is one of the most popular events in the village. If it seems that the inhabitants of Market Rasen lead a rather dull life then you haven't heard about what happened to the town on February 27th of 2008. On that fateful day the town of Market Rasen was rocked to its very foundations by an earthquake that measured 5.2 on the Richter Scale. Nearly all of the United Kingdom felt the effects of this massive quake but Market Rasen was one of the closest to the fault line from which the quake occurred. At any rate, this should serve as a lesson to anybody who thinks small towns are boring and dull. You never know what could be around the corner and sometimes a small town sees more than you could ever imagine.
