"No disrespect to the likes of Grimsby..."

Beautiful Grimsby

From AboutBritain.com.

Grimsby is surrounded by beautiful countryside with easy access to miles of sandy beaches; Grimsby has excellent shopping and leisure facilities to suit all age groups.

Cleethorpes is a long-established family resort, famous for its miles of clean, golden sands, beautiful parks and restful gardens. One of the few remaining English piers totally refurbished, with disco, bars and restaurant.

Louth nestles on the eastern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, and is justifiably called "capital of the Wolds".
