Belleau, Lincolnshire

Flower Delivery to Belleau with Clare Florist

Belleau, the civil parish in the East Lindley district of Lincolnshire, England is mostly a quiet town with stunning vistas of rivers and other inland attractions, all for the enjoyment of both locals and tourists. Its name is derived from a rivulet called Eau arising from chalk rocks found in the village.

The parish includes the little hamlet of Claythorpe, with Alford as its post town. With only 1,344 acres of land area, it is understandable that there are merely 30 houses where some 200 plus residents live. Indeed, if anyone yearns for some peace and quiet, they'll surely find the repose they need in Belleau, serenaded by the soft whispering floral notes of Belleau flowers carried across the country by the refreshing breeze.

The Market Town of Alford

The town may appear desolate but it is never a dull place to visit or live in. As for tourists, there are a couple of nearby accommodations and attractions to keep their plate full.

For one, there's the town of Alford where vast agricultural plains of varying shades of green, oranges and browns stretch to the horizons in what seem like forever. Alford has a charming market where people buy and sell agricultural produce including flowers in Belleau, as well as local trinkets and crafts.

The rest of the year may be as still and silent as a lone island, but not all the time. After all, Alford is England's centre for arts and crafts. In fact, people from across the country visit Alford each year to commemorate its annual craft markets featuring various musicians and artists.

Alford celebrates August Bank Holiday Festival, the Jazz Festival, Christmas markets, Whitsun Show, or the weekly craft markets during summer – and these are times when the town turns into a giant party place, totally different from its usual mundane stillness. These holidays are prime time to witness colorful, beautiful flowers in Belleau in splendid displays.
 
Aside from the festivities, tourists must pay homage to Alford's distinguishable landmark, the Five Sailed Windmill that continues to grind flour with sheer strength and pride. Under this rather imposing six-story high structure lies an engine house where guests may indulge in some antique shopping and intimate tea party.

The Tiny Hamlet of Claythorpe

Claythorpe is synonymous to watermill. The Claythorpe Mill is a start contrast to Alford's windmill, although said watermill is likewise been turned into a tourist diner – and elegant restaurant, after repurposing a former corn mill in the 18th century. Today, the infamous watermill is no longer in use, although its steel wheel and gears are still in place.

The Mill likewise boasts of its wildfowl gardens, home to a stunning number of birds and animals including the snowy owl, marmosets, pheasants, peacocks, otters and many others. The gardens also house several flowers in Belleau, further enhancing the grandeur to the location.
