The county scores highly when it comes to education from nursery through to secondary school and has a growing university culture at the City of Lincoln. In your free time there are many places of interest to visit in Lincolnshire with motor racing at Cadwell Park, lakes for sailing, some of the best coarse fishing in the country and horse racing at Market Rasen, not to mention Lincoln Cathedral and Castle and the good balance of traditional eateries throughout the county.
