Boston is situated near the south-east coast of Lincolnshire, where the River Witham becomes the Haven on its short journey to The Wash. The town is approximately 120 miles directly north of London and 32 miles south-east of Lincoln. It is an historic and attractive market town which is dominated by the 14th-century St.Botolph's Church whose 271ft high tower is a landmark for miles around. There is a great deal of modern development being attracted into the town, which is a busy commercial and retail centre, and it is undergoing ongoing development as a longer-stay tourist destination.
