Gainsborough - Lincolnshire is a rather lonesome town located in the East Midlands area of England, in the North East.
With a population of over 20.
000 it is hardly considered as a major town in the Lincolnshire county district of England but it is still a worthwhile place to visit.
One thing for certain is that any visitor to Gainsborough will find the River Trent very intriguing.
Flowing 55 miles straight into the North Sea it somewhat functions as an inland port.
When passing through a considerable number of towns such as Hull it can be a good means of transport.
It is primarily used for the purposes of trade but very recently buildings have been erected on the river side to provide a sitting and lounging area for tourists.
The river is not the only means of transport for carrying people from one place to another.
There is a railway network serviced by the Gainsborough Central station and Lea Road.
Enough pieces of architecture exist for the traveler who is bent on discovering old building that have existed for centuries.
The All Saints church is of a Gothic and Medieval style and it has stood there for over 250 years.
The Gainsborough Old Hall is a 15th century timber house in which King Henry VIII and King Richard III are both said to have stayed in.
For those who are into the celebration of old age traditions and cultures the Gainsborough Riverside Festival is a treat worth the wait.
Started in 2001 it is a festival that celebrates the heritage and art that is unique only to Gainsborough.
It is carried out in the second weekend of June.
The market place can be a good source of outdoor activity for visitors interested in getting a few souvenirs to remind them of their visit to this amazing town.
