Lincoln is the most stylish place to live in Lincolnshire, according to a new survey.
The cathedral city was the highest rated location in the county in a list of the 60 most stylish places by online store Furniturebox.
In second place in Lincs was Woodhall Spa, Stamford was third, Tealby was fourth and Caistor was fifth.
Locations were ranked according to the beauty of the buildings, the stunning scenery, how ‘Instagrammable’ were the best features and their popularity as a filming location.
Filming of Ridley Scott’s blockbuster Napoleon starring Joaquin Phoenix took place in Lincoln Cathedral, which was was standing in for Notre Dame.
Furniturebox polled 5,000 people, with panels in each big city and county including Lincs.
Lincoln is one of the most beautiful and surprising hidden gems in the UK. With cobblestone streets, colourful shops along Steep Hill, stunning historic buildings, and the iconic Cathedral looking out over the city, Lincoln looks like a postcard picture.
A Furniturebox spokesperson said: “Lincoln is the most stylish place to live in Lincolnshire.
“All 60 places on the list would have been worthy winners and show why the UK is such a stylish country, loved by artists, film-makers and tourists from all over the world.
“What is interesting is how influential Instagram has become in boosting tourism in many of our top 60, particularly around Lincs. It is a massive help for visitor numbers, too, if a popular film or TV show uses a town or village as a location.
“Most of the locations in the top 60 are not the most affluent or fashionable in their localities. It shows that style can be achieved whatever your budget - and that is very true of furniture.”
