Welcome to West Rasen

West Rasen is a small village located in the county of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles east of the town of Market Rasen and 15 miles north-east of the city of Lincoln. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks, including the Grade II listed St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The village also has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub.

One of the main attractions in West Rasen is the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway, which is a heritage railway that runs between the villages of Ludborough and North Thoresby. The railway station in West Rasen was originally opened in 1848 and was used for both passenger and freight services until it was closed in 1964. The station was then restored and reopened in 2009 as part of the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway. Visitors can take a ride on a steam train and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Lincolnshire Wolds.

West Rasen is also home to a number of walking and cycling routes, which allow visitors to explore the surrounding countryside. The Viking Way, which is a long-distance footpath that runs from the Humber Bridge to Oakham in Rutland, passes through the village. The route takes walkers through some of the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside in Lincolnshire, including the Lincolnshire Wolds and the Fens. Cyclists can also enjoy the quiet country lanes and rolling hills of the area, which provide a challenging but rewarding ride.
