Residents of South Holland are spoilt with the amazing sky and sunsets over the flat land; make sure if you are visiting you drive into the countryside to admire the view. Georgian terraces front the tree-lined River Welland which runs through the town centre of the town. Overlooking the river stands Ayscoughfee Hall and Gardens, the beautiful late-medieval Hall once belonged to a wool merchant. Today it is home to a museum depicting life in the area over the centuries. Entry is FREE to both the museum and the breath-taking gardens where you will find a duck pond, play area and café.

There is a market twice a week on a Tuesday and Saturday selling everything from fresh produce to household goods, flowers and clothing.
