|
Welcome to Market Rasen There's so much more to Market Rasen today than “the sleepiest town in England” described by Charles Dickens 200 years ago. Have you discovered this unique Lincolnshire market town, with its friendly independent shops, fabulous food, free parking and easy access? Halfway between Lincoln and Grimsby, Market Rasen, with its railway station lovingly maintained by the Station Adoption Group, is the ideal gateway to the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for family walks or Market Rasen racecourse for a great day out. Have a look at what makes Market Rasen special, through fabulous Instragram photographs shared via Twitter @marketrasen_big and our Visit Market Rasen Facebook page. It's where you'll find special offers and a taste of the delights that await you in this charming corner of England. Market Rasen stands on the River Rase and its name means “place at the planks” referring to a market near to a plank river bridge. It lies within a largely rural area of West Lindsey District, and has a population of around 2,950. The town's St Thomas's Church is largely 15th century. Historically, Market Rasen's economy was principally based on agriculture, which still accounts for some 12% of the local workforce. The primary employment sector is now service related jobs in public administration, education and health, followed by manufacturing.
