 Feeling safe? - CGNorwich
Horncastlle is a centre of the antique trade and stuffed with antique shops and second hand furniture places. The Old Coop down by the Admiral Rodney hotel is home to the biggest collection of assorted junk you have ever seen. It's like visiting one of those hoarder's houses you see on TV where you literally have to climb across stuff. The yard is full of China and glass stuff left out in all weathers and usually full of rainwater. Found a rather nice coffee pot in there for 50p

Louth is a bigger town and because of its isolation has most of the facilities you would require. The old part of town is very fine and it has a lovely walk through a park area by the river. The town is famous for its range of independent shops . Plenty of real shops selling useful things including what I believe is the oldest independent department store in the country. It's a bit like Grace Brothers in Are You Being Served

Both towns are liable to flooding. Last time I stayed in Louth I shared my hotel with a group of elderly ladies who lived in a terrace down by the river which had been flooded. They had been put up in the hotel by their insurers and were really rather enjoying their stay. One lady told me she was 82 and had never stayed in a hotel before! Really like the idea of being waited on
