Finding the bell

The bell's setting, on the wide and long beach running North from Mablethorpe is enormously striking - at all states of the tide it stands out in an enormous expanse of sand and water.

The nearest road and car-parking is at North End, Mablethorpe by the Ferryboat Inn and Seal Sanctuary. Bus routes 51 and 59 from Lincoln and Skegness stop here. Take the path next to the pub to cross the dunes. On the beach turn left, northwards. The bell will be in sight, about 10 minutes' brisk walk up the beach. The Bell can also be reached from the Crook Bank car-park, approached from Theddlethorpe. It's an interesting walk across the dunes.
