If you’ve ever been to Lincolnshire, you’ll know that it’s basically just a lot of fields and villages. But some of these villages do suffer from some *very* bizarre names.

For example, if you’re visiting Grantham (unlikely), then you may encounter the lovely village of Bitchfield… It basically appears to be nothing more than a church in a field.  It’s just so incredibly exciting I can barely contain myself.

There’s also a Lower Bitchfield, which isn’t quite as bitchy, presumably. We reckon Maggie Thatcher spent many of her younger days here, which would explain SO much.

If you’re ever trekking to Woodhall Spa, you might find yourself in Martin. No, seriously, you might. This isn’t some weird euphemism, before you ask. Martin is a village. It comes with a high street and an airfield visitor centre. Thrilling, right? Really gets my motor running…

But if you’re called Martin, you could get a photo next to the sign and make it your cover pic on Facebook. All of your friends would just cry from jealously.

Vernatt’s Drain is just outside of Spalding. This isn’t Lincolnshire’s most notorious red light district. It’s not even a village, which is quite upsetting. It’s basically a river named after some ancient man that created a flood control system there years ago. WHAT A HERO.

Then of course, there’s Dogdyke. While it’s nowhere near the coast, it does have a MARINA. If this isn’t already baffling enough, the marina is also not that marina-y. It’s built in a old train station. But if this doesn’t float your boat (more tumble weed anyone?) there are two pubs (yay)!

Lincolnshire also plays host to the likes of Norton Disney and Mavis Enderby. Have fun exploring these wonderful places children!
