More about this scene
Moving east off The Wolds, our tour reaches the flat land between them and the sea, with its high line of rolling marram-grassed sand dunes as a backdrop. Saltfleet lies just behind the dunes, but is a remnant of the medieval town and port a little further east, long washed away by the sea. North of the old windmill is the Manor House in mid 17th-century brick, which retains its original cross windows. It is said that Oliver Cromwell slept here after a Civil War skirmish at Winceby, so it would have to date from before the 1640s. The big tree has gone, and the outbuilding, whose steps can be seen at the left is now a single ruined wall.
