St Botolph’s Church
One of the UK’s largest parish churches, St Botolph’s is the first thing you’ll see as you approach the town, dominating the flat landscape for miles. The Perpendicular Gothic tower is eighty-three metres high and nicknamed the Stump. It was completed in the 1510s, when Boston was flourishing, and you’ll be able to scale the 209 steps up to an open walkway two thirds to the top of the tower for panoramas of The Fens and The Wash.

Boston
In the 15th century Boston was the wealthiest port outside London. Set in the Fens, a region of farmland reclaimed from coastal marshes by the Wash, Boston was where English wool was loaded onto ships to trade with Hanseatic league cities. The affluence of that period is unmistakable in the Perpendicular tower of St Botolph’s Church, which soars over the Fens, and the Guildhall, neatly preserved and housing Boston’s Museum.
You can venture out to the Wash, Lincolnshire and East Anglia’s vast estuary with wide open skies and an ever-changing throng of wading birds. The low-lying landscape is also suited to windmills, and there are two beautiful heritage mills from the 19th century, still grinding and selling flour

Pilgrim Fathers Memorial
At Fishtoft on the Haven, ten minutes downriver from Boston there’s a modest-looking monument to an intriguing episode in European and American history. It was here in 1607 that the Puritan Scrooby Congregation attempted to set sail for the Netherlands. In those days, unsanctioned emigration was illegal, and their attempts were thwarted on that occasion, when the captain notified the local authorities, landing them a prison sentence.
A later attempt in 1609 was successful, and after spending 11 years in Leiden the separatists eventually departed from Plymouth for the New World.

Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre
Fans of military aviation shouldn’t miss this museum at East Kirkby, a brief drive north of Boston. The centre markets itself as being the only place in the UK where you can ride in an Avro Lancaster bomber.
Other exhibits are a Percival Proctor radio trainer and a Handley Page Hampden bomber, both being restored, as well as the cockpit of an English Electric Canberra and the wreckage of a Spitfire that crashed in 1943.
