  Lincolnshire Wolds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lincolnshire Wolds can be divided into four distinct areas: the main area of chalk hills in the north, the north west scarp, an area of ridges and valleys in the south west, and the claylands in the south east.
The Wolds are sparsely populated and have a deeply rural character.
The Wolds are now promoted as a tourist destination: the area's connection with Tennyson (who was born in Somersby) is being exploited, and farmers are being encouraged to diversify into the tourism industry.
