Little Carlton Approximately 6 miles east of Louth and originally an Anglo-Saxon island settlement, Little Carlton was found by research to have once been a High-Status ecclesiastical and trading site and no ordinary village. Comprising a variety of individual country homes, the village had a windmill and watermill, the latter surviving and now Grade 2 Listed. The residents of Little Carlton and neighbouring Great Carlton enjoy a peaceful country lifestyle away from the noise of busy thoroughfares yet just a short drive from amenities. The coastal nature reserves and beaches are just 6 miles away while the Area of Outstanding Beauty – The Lincolnshire Wolds, can be found around 3 miles away on the fringe of Legbourne.

Louth Nearby, Louth is a vibrant market town that seamlessly blends history, culture, and natural beauty. Its bustling weekly markets, independent shops, and array of cafés, restaurants, and traditional pubs make it a hub of activity. The town has excellent leisure facilities including a swimming complex, tennis academy, and golf club. Families benefit from highly regarded schools. Just seven miles from the picturesque Lincolnshire coast and the main regional business centres are in Lincoln (35 miles) and Grimsby (24 miles). Nestled on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, Louth offers easy access to scenic walks and bridleways.
