With so many award-winning independent food businesses lining our shopping streets, its never been a better time to visit Louth, sample what we have to offer and savour the true tastes of Lincolnshire! It’s also a great chance to stock the food cupboards with excellent locally sourced produce from an area with a proud agricultural heritage.”

Visitors can follow the extensive trail of delicious food shops in Louth by picking up the recently published food map leaflets from points across the town such as the Tourist Information Centre and within the shops.
