historic docks, fresh produce markets, delicious food & fantastic entertainment
Grimsby has a rich heritage - its recorded history dates back to 866AD when thousands of Norse invaders passed through the town on their way to inland cities.
Grimsby has been associated in more recent years with fantastic fish trade – with record catches in the historic docks over many years.
The town of Grimsby itself is serviced by a central railway station, with easy access to boutique and high street stores, two fresh produce markets and plenty of choice when it comes to places to eat and drink.
