Perceptions
Despite the widespread perception of Lincolnshire as a physically rather dull and uniform county, it is often remarked that the Lincolnshire landscape is a place of surprising contrasts that possesses a subtle beauty and quiet charm that is all of its own. Certainly its generally flat landscapes, 'big skies' and comparative emptiness make this a landscape that remains uncommon in the generally densely populated United Kingdom. Although, in terms of overall attractiveness, the county cannot be fairly compared to the more dramatic and scenic, 'tourist friendly' landscapes of nearby Yorkshire, Derbyshire or Norfolk, the Lincolnshire landscape does have much to recommend it to those prepared to get off 'the beaten track' and explore what remains a lesser known and peaceful corner of an increasingly hectic country.
