About:
Among the 2,000 or so deserted medieval villages in England, Gainsthorpe in Lincolnshire is one of the most clearly visible and best preserved. Many elements of the village, including houses, barns and streets, survive as a remarkable group of earthworks in an unploughed field. Other parts survive under ploughed fields to the south and west.

Dogs:
Dogs on leads are welcome.

Parking:
A small corner of the farmer's field is set aside for free parking, although it isn't available when in use by the farmer - mainly during harvest time. The parking area is signposted.

Facilities:
There are public toilets and places to eat and drink in nearby Kirton in Lindsey.

Notes:
Farm livestock is likely to be present.
