Right royal history

Stride in the footsteps of kings and queens in the ruins of the hexagonal Bolingbroke Castle, where the future King Henry IV was born in 1367, or explore the magnificent red brick Tattershall Castle complete with a great tower and moat. Just a stone’s throw away you’ll also find the grave of Tom Thumb, the folk legend who was reputedly 18in tall and lived to the age of 101.
