Location Brinkhill is highly regarded in the area due to the scenic surrounding hills and vales of the Lincolnshire Wolds – an area designated as being "of outstanding natural beauty". The village has a very long history and was mentioned in the Domesday Book when it was known as Brincle with 26 households – considered quite large at the time. The land was then held by Earl Hugh as part of the Greetham land and the moated site within the grounds of the Moat House is a scheduled monument, being one of three moated sites within a 400 metre radius in the village and thought to have been the site of a manor house.
Brinkhill nestles within the surrounding hills and is well positioned for three market towns – Louth to the north, Horncastle to the west and Spilsby to the south. There is a smaller market town to the east in Alford beyond which the Lincolnshire coast is about 13 miles away from the village at its closest point. The market towns provide a variety of shopping and recreational facilities together with the highly regarded King Edward VI and the two Queen Elizabeth grammar schools in Louth, Horncastle and Alford respectively. The major business centres are located in Grimsby, Lincoln and Boston. There are some superb walks across the Lincolnshire Wolds and equestrians will enjoy bridleways leading for several miles from Brinkhill towards Tetford on the west side and towards Calceby on the east side. There are also many country lanes with wide verges suitable for hacking.
Directions From Louth take the A16 road south and travel for several miles. After passing through the village of Burwell, proceed up and over the hill and look for the first right turning to Ketsby. Take this turn and follow the lane until the eventual crossroads, cross straight over and go past the Massingbird Arms country pub on the left. Take the first left turning towards Brinkhill and follow the lane into the village. Carry on through the village centre and Chapel Cottage will be found on the right side.
