Holland

Holland is the south-eastern part of Lincolnshire, one of that county's three parts, with Lindsey to the north and Kesteven to the west. Holland is a flat land, part of the Great Fen: once barren marsh, it was drained by skilled engineers, most notable amongst them Cornelius Vermuyden, to produce rich farmland.

To the north and west, Holland is bordered by its fellow parts of Lincolnshire; Lindsey and Kesteven. To the east, it is bounded by the North Sea and the Wash, and by Norfolk while Cambridgeshire lies to the south. The main town of Holland is Boston. (Read more)
