Tupholme Abbey
Explore this area of the Witham Valley and you will come across amazing survivals of the nine monastic abbeys built in the early medieval period. Tupholme Abbey is one of only a few with standing remains of the original monastic buildings in addition to the archaeological remains below ground.
 The site of the abbey makes a perfect spot for picnicking, it is on the several walking routes through the county including the Viking Way and a visit to the site is an excellent way to enjoy the countryside of this part of Lincolnshire.
The Heritage Trust of Lincolnshire purchased this site in 1988 and is preserving this ancient monument for future generations.
