Spilsby is a market town, civil parish and electoral ward in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The town is adjacent to the main A16 trunk road, 33 miles (53 km) east of the county town of Lincoln, 17 miles (27 km) north-east of Boston and 13 miles (21 km) north-west of Skegness. It lies at the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds and north of the Fenlands.
The town has been a rural market town for more than 700 years. It has changed little in size since the beginning of the 19th century. The town centre includes a range of small supermarkets, banks, traditional newsagents, baker, butchers, jewellers and clothing stores, together with public houses, cafes and ethnic fast-food takeaways.
At the centre of town is an open square or traditional market place, from which the four main town streets radiate. Markets take place on a Monday. As Spilsby is located within a predominantly agricultural area, much of the market produce consists of locally grown vegetables and meat.
Bolingbroke Castle was built in the parish of Spilsby around 1220 by Ranulph de Blondeville, Earl of Chester and Earl of Lincoln. Much damaged during the English Civil War, after the nearby Battle of Winceby in October 1643, only the lower sections of the outer walls remain. The last standing section of the castle, the gatehouse, collapsed in 1815.
According to the dated keystone on the west doorway, Gunby Hall was built in 1700 by Sir Henry Massingberd. The mansion still stands in several acres of landscaped and wooded parkland. There is a blue gazebo amid well-kept gardens .
Hundleby was an ancient parish that fell within Spilsby. It has not changed greatly in size or layout for the past two hundred years. The village population in 1801 was 218, and in 1901 it reached a peak of 528, mostly agricultural farm workers and their families. By 1971 the population had fallen to 439. It has remained fairly stable ever since with only minor fluctuations.
The town is situated upon slightly elevated ground at the southwestern rim of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Spilsby has an extensive south-east view of a tract of marsh and fen land, bounded by Boston Deeps and the North Sea. It is within 12 miles (19 km) inland from Skegness.
Spilsby and nearby landmarks include Gunby Hall, a national trust property open on selected days during summer months, the Buttercross monument, a statue to Sir John Franklin, Spilsby Theatre and Arts Centre, Northcote Heavy Horse Centre and Bolingbroke Castle. Snipedales Nature Reserve and Country Park is next to the historic Civil War battlefield at nearby Winceby.

If you're looking for the hottest new trends in all things cheese, there is no better place to be than the SA Cheese Festival, taking place from 27 -- 30 April 2012, where cheese remains the jewel in the festival crown.
This foodie highlight takes cheese lovers on an unrivalled culinary journey where the remarkable assortment of artisanal cheeses, dairy and other partnering products will entice the senses. Taste the large selection of cheese in the Checkers Cheese Emporium, enjoy a serving of gourmet heaven when Checkers once again brings a unique concept to the event with well known chefs and celebrities sharing their cooking secrets, and take a breather in the festive atmosphere of the Carnival Park. The healthy entertainment provided in the Wilde Fruit Juice Kiddies Corner and the up-close-and-personal approach of the Santam Agriculture Milk Factory at the Waterfront, is sure to keep the little ones in high spirits. Add to that some tips from food bloggers and cheese makers in the DStv Food Theatre and you are ready for a new approach in your own kitchen. A stroll further down the Meander and through the Absa Mall will complete your sensory expedition.
Combine a great day out in the country with an opportunity to meet and learn from an array of exciting culinary talent. The event has settled in well at its new home, Sandringham (on the N1 halfway between Cape Town and Paarl).
Buy your ticket at a Computicket outlet or Checkers store near you (no tickets at the gates) at R110. Senior citizens pay R90 and children 13 years and younger enter absolutely free. The festival runs from 10:00 to 18:00 each day and 17:00 on the last day.
