Market Rasen is a market town and civil parish in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, sitting in the valley of the River Rase on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding rolling chalk hills and farmland give it a distinctly rural feel while the town’s market heritage and racecourse draw visitors from the wider region.
Historically a market and coaching centre with a parish church, St Thomas's Church, that contains medieval fabric, the town retains Georgian and Victorian streets and an active community life. Agriculture and local services remain important to the economy, supplemented by events at Market Rasen Racecourse, and rail and road links provide relatively easy access to nearby centres such as Lincoln and Grimsby.
