Step into the past with this engaging digital trail exploring the remarkable legacy of Edward Watkin — the visionary Victorian behind Cleethorpes’ transformation into a seaside destination. Through interactive stops and historical insights, uncover how railways, tourism, and bold ambition shaped the town we know today. Accessible on your phone or tablet, this self-guided experience brings history to life at your own pace.
We will be stationed along seafront if you need any help on the trail or would like to learn more about Mr Edward Watkin. Do look out for Lady Watkin!
