Welcome to Somersby

Somersby is a small village located in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles east of the market town of Horncastle and is known for being the birthplace of the famous poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists.

One of the main attractions in Somersby is the Tennyson Trail, a 10-mile walking route that takes visitors through the picturesque Lincolnshire Wolds. The trail starts in Horncastle and passes through Somersby, where visitors can see the church where Tennyson's father was rector and where the poet himself was baptized. The trail also takes visitors past Tennyson's former home, Somersby Rectory, which is now a private residence.

In addition to its literary connections, Somersby is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the 13th-century St Margaret's Church and the Grade II listed Somersby House. The village has a small community shop and a pub, The White Hart, which serves traditional pub food and local ales. Overall, Somersby is a charming village that offers visitors a glimpse into the life and works of one of England's most celebrated poets.
