Market Rasen

Local Area
Standing proudly on the River Rase, nestled on western edge of the rolling Lincolnshire Wolds, is the bustling town of Market Rasen. Surrounded by rich farmland, the town once famous for its tanning industry and prosperity brought by the arrival of the railways is now very popular with visitors enjoying its pleasant countryside setting.

One of the most famous attractions of the thriving market town is its racecourse - set in rural surroundings and offering the only experience of its kind in Lincolnshire.The town is self sufficient, offering fresh local produce, clothes and gifts. The market still thrives on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. And for those who enjoy a gentler pace, venturing out of the immediate area paves the way for many walks, cycle paths and country lands.

Market Rasen, with its population of around 3,200, is perfectly positioned to allow for the best of both worlds - a semi rural location with excellent road links to major towns and cities including Lincoln (which is just fifteen miles away) and Grimsby from the A46. It also has links slightly further afield to the M180 motorway.

Market Rasen is home to the highly regarded de Aston secondary school - with a thriving sixth form and a boarding facility, extending its opportunities to young people from all over the country. De Aston is also a specialist school - proud of its work in maths and computing and boasts a favourable OFSTED report.

The superb de Aston Park development lies close to the famous racecourse - however, Market Rasen’s immediate surroundings have plenty more to offer lovers of the great outdoors.

As well as the numerous walkways and cyclepaths, the town boasts a golf course and there is an opportunity to make use of the local fishing lakes, and even pony trekking facilities.

The nearby Willingham Woods and Claxby Platts Woodlands are great locations for getting up close and personal with nature.

The countryside feel is continued within the de Aston Park development - pond areas, an extensive open green space and a fully equipped play area will all benefit our purchasers.
