Louth is a compact market town and civil parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, lying on the spring‑fed River Lud at the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. It has a long history as an agricultural and market centre and is dominated by the lofty spire of St James' Church, one of the tallest parish church spires in the country and a local landmark.
Today Louth retains a bustling weekly market, a strong showing of independent shops, cafés and antique dealers, and an economy still rooted in farming alongside growing tourism; it’s popular with walkers exploring the Wolds and as a short trip from Lincoln for wider services and attractions.
