The Boston hotels listed below are either in
the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far they are
from Boston. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your ideal
accommodation.
Boston is situated near the south-east
coast of Lincolnshire, where the River Witham becomes the Haven
on its short journey to The Wash. It is
an historic and attractive market town which is dominated by
the 14th-century St.Botolph's Church (photo), whose 271ft high
tower is a landmark for miles around. Historically the agricultural
industry provided the main employment and Bostons economy
is still heavily dependent on agriculture and related employment.
The Maud Foster Mill lies just beyond Bargate Bridge and is the
tallest working windmill in the country. Built
in 1819 to grind corn, brought in by barge along the Maud Foster
'Drain', it has been fully restored and is still producing home
ground flour today. Unusually, it has five sails, or 'sweeps'.
The Port of Boston was established in 1886 and has a long history
of handling agricultural and timber products. Visitor tours around
the port are available. Also see Boston
