Proper old-fashioned, high-ceilinged but teensy post office right in the middle of Horncastle. I came here to post all my Music Magpie parcels and dropped them all over the floor, and hardly anyone laughed at me. Even though it's clearly a local place for local people, and I am not local, because I live in Leeds and even if I lived in Woodhall Spa still, that's six whole miles away and a whole different kettle of fish to Horncastle and I'd definitely not be local then. Anyway, even though it's a local place for local people, everyone was very friendly and chatty and it was a very pleasant experience.
The only drawback, which is an overall-whinge-at-Horncastle, is that you can't park anywhere without having to pay. Although it's only about 40p in the market place so it's about a million times better than Leeds. read more
