The seaside resort of Skegness takes pride of place on Lincolnshire's
coast. It was originally a village home to fewer than 400
residents, who were mostly fisherman or farmers. It wasn't
until the first rail link was built in the 1870s that the town
really came to life.
Find the perfect seaside destination with a Skegness holiday
Skegness ranks highly amongst UK residents as a fantastic
seaside holiday destination. Points of interest include the Jolly
Fisherman, originally a poster with the tagline
'Skegness… is so bracing". It's said to be the
biggest contributor to Skegness' rise to fame and is one of the
most famous UK holiday advertisements of all time. It was
originally drawn by artist John Hassall in 1908 and was
commissioned by the Great Northern Railway Company to promote
tourism in Skegness. An honorary statue of the Jolly Fisherman
stands proudly in the town to this day. Visit the Diamond Jubilee
Clock Tower, built at the end of the 19th Century to mark
then-Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and take a stroll down
the iconic pier to enjoy views of the wonderful beach.
