Lincolnshire – Visitor Profiling November 2016 Introduction Lincolnshire – Visitor Profiling November 2016 Introduction This report examines the findings from the online survey carried out in October 2016 to establish: Who is visiting Lincolnshire? Why are they visiting? What are they doing when there? Information sources used Ratings of most recent visit Perceptions and associations with Lincolnshire Awareness of destinations within Lincolnshire Barriers to visiting Competitive positioning Where possible, comparisons have been made with the data collected by Arkenford in 2009 The sample, a total of 467 full responses and 281 partially completed responses, was gathered through an online survey sent out to locally sourced contact databases. The sample is composed of Lincolnshire residents (30%), recent visitors (36%), non-recent visitors (18%), potential visitors (16%) The sample shows a larger proportion of ‘Older Independents’ (over 45 with no kids at home) than we would expect from visitors in this area. Generally this group have a greater propensity to fill out surveys than young people and busy parents. 2 Sample Profile 70% The sample in both years follows a similar 60% pattern, with some slight differences. 50% More females and more older respondents filled 40% out the survey in both 2009 and 2016 30% This is likely to be a reflection of the demographic of 20% the databases contacted rather than a change in 10% who is visiting 0% The segments have remained similar, with the key Male Female 16-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 55+ 2016 2010 difference being the decrease in Traditionals since 2009 Base: all respondents and the increase in Functionals 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 2016 2010 Base: all respondents 3 Why are people visiting Lincolnshire? A good mix of both residents, recent visitors and non recent visitors was achieved in the sample. Those who have visited Lincolnshire were asked how long they stayed in Lincolnshire Just over half of respondents said that they have taken a day trip to Lincolnshire, but it is more popular as a destination for a holiday. 43% have visited for a short break 31% have visited for a longer break Lincolnshire is attracting visitors for a variety of different reasons. Respondents were asked what type of trip they took on their most recent visit. City / town breaks Coastal breaks Rural breaks Those who said they attended for a specific event were asked to specify what event – RAF related events were most frequently mentioned Specific event, 6% Business, 7% Rural , 19% I live in Lincolnshire 30% Visiting friends / family, 22% Longer break - 4 I have visited Lincolnshire in the past 2 years 36% nights or more, 31% Day trip, 52% I have visited Lincolnshire more than 2 years ago 18% City / town , 27% I have not visited Lincolnshire but I would be Coastal break , 14% interested 26% Short break - 3 I have not visited Lincolnshire and would not be nights or more, 2% Base: Visited Lincolnshire for day trip or holiday interested in visiting 43% 4 Base: all respondents Base: Visited Lincolnshire Who is visiting Lincolnshire? 40% 80% 35% 70% 30% 60% 18-24 25% 25-34 50% Under 45 with no kids at home 20% 35-44 40% Young family (any child under 5) 15% 45-54 30% Older family (all children over 5) 55-64 10% 20% Over 45 with no kids at home 65+ 5% 10% 0% 0% I have visited Lincolnshire in the I have visited Lincolnshire more I have not visited Lincolnshire but I have visited I have visited I have not visited past 2 years than 2 years ago I would be interested Lincolnshire in the past 2 Lincolnshire more than 2 Lincolnshire but I would years years ago be interested Base: all respondents Base: all respondents For a more accurate understanding of the demographic of Lincolnshire visitors, please refer to the postcode analysis section. Of those who were contacted for this survey, Lincolnshire is appealing most to those who fall into the independent life stages – those who have no dependent children living at home. It’s important to note that this does not mean younger people or families are not visiting Lincolnshire, as it is likely that this demographic were less likely to fill out the survey. Under 45s with no kids living at home, in particularly those aged between 25 and 44, would be interested in visiting Lincolnshire. 5 Types of holiday breakdown 45% Coastal breaks tend to be the longest type of holiday 40% in Lincolnshire, and city/town breaks tend to be the 35% Rural break / day trip 30% City / town break / day trip shortest 25% Coastal break / day trip Younger Independents (under 45 with no kids at 20% home) show a strong preference for city/town breaks 15% Visiting friends / family 10% To attend a specific event Young families are more likely to take a rural or 5% coastal break 0% Day trip Short break - 3 nights or Longer break - 4 nights or more more Base: Visited Lincolnshire for a day trip or holiday 70% 60% 50% 40% Under 45 with no kids at home Young family (any child under 5) 30% Older family (all children over 5) 20% Over 45 with no kids at home 10% 0% Rural break / City / town Coastal break / Visiting friends To attend a day trip break / day trip day trip / family specific event 6 Base: Visited Lincolnshire for a day trip or holiday What are they doing in Lincolnshire?

  • Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plan
    Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plan 2018 – 2023 DRAFT PLAN Public Consultation Produced on behalf of Lincolnshire County Council, East Lindsey District Council, West Lindsey District Council, North East Lincolnshire Council and partners by The Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service and Lincolnshire Wolds Joint Advisory Committee (AONB Partnership) Navigation Warehouse, Riverhead Road, Louth Lincolnshire LN11 0DA Tel: (01522) 555780 www.lincswolds.org.uk Page 27 Chairman's Introduction Welcome to the (DRAFT) Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Management Plan which sets out the proposed updated Strategy and Action Plan for the period 2018- 2023. The Lincolnshire Wolds was designated as an AONB in 1973, recognising it as one of the country’s finest landscapes, a designation on a par with our National Parks. The Lincolnshire Wolds is a hidden jewel of the English countryside and one of only two nationally protected landscapes in the East Midlands region, the other being the Peak District National Park. During the 45 years since its designation as an AONB, the continued modernisation of farming, demands of modern living and development of new technologies have imposed continued pressures on the landscape. However these are both threats and opportunities. Our overarching goal is to ensure that the Wolds retains its unique landscape and undeniable special character, whilst maintaining and supporting its communities. We are keen to thank the many organisations, local groups and individuals that have been involved in the development of this document to date. A public consultation questionnaire took place during the summer of 2016 with extensive coverage in the local press and social media.

  • Building Stones of Lincolnshire
    Building stones of Greater Lincolnshire Lincolnshire Limestone at another famous Lincoln landmark © Lincolnshire County Council The rocks on which we stand The geology of Greater Lincolnshire (encompassing the county of Lincolnshire and the unitary authorities of North and North East Lincolnshire) comprises rocks and sediments of Late Triassic (the oldest rocks) in the west to Quaternary (the most recent sediments) in the east. In general, the rocks dip gently eastwards towards the North Sea coast forming a tilted sandwich. The area can be divided into several topographically and geologically distinct regions: in the west are the Trent Valley and the Isle of Axholme which are underlain by the Triassic rocks. To the east are two north- south ridges of higher ground forming the Lincoln Edge or Cliff (of Jurassic limestone) and the Lincolnshire Wolds (of Cretaceous chalk). The remainder of the area forms part of the low-lying drainage basin of the Humber Estuary (or Humber Levels) in the north while the southern limit of the Wolds is obscured by a thickening cover of sediments that forms the area of south Lincolnshire known as the fenland. Both the Humber Levels and the fenland have a series of Quaternary sediments.
