Lincolnshire Gate is the name given to a corner in the road between Holywell and Pickworth to the south-west of Castle Bytham. It describes the point where this tiny country road crosses the county border between Lincolnshire and Rutland, to pass between Newell Wood and Howitts Gorse. On either side are the workings of small quarries, worked from the Middle Ages till the early 20th century for building and road stone for nearby use.
It is the location of the small nature reserve, Robert's Field.[1]
There are no human settlements at Lincolnshire Gate.
