Explore Louth, Lincolnshire with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Louth map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers OS MAPS — Ordnance Survey Outdoor mapping and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets — plus a labelled National Grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Louth, Lincolnshire, England. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Lincolnshire or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Louth and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
OS MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows OS Outdoor mapping — contours, footpaths, bridleways and access land. Explorer 1:25k shows the OS Explorer sheets themselves: the orange-covered 1:25 000 maps walkers, fell runners and mountain rescue teams use, with field boundaries, rights of way and open access land. The search box finds any British town, village or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Louth.
Reading the map like a paper Explorer sheet. Click Grid to overlay the OS National Grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference such as NY 266 234 by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an OS National Grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what mountain rescue and the coastguard work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your grid reference stays correct even where the map itself cannot load, which in the Lakes, the Dales and the Highlands is often exactly where you need it.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Limestone spires pierce the Lincolnshire sky, marking the historic silhouette of Louth as it commands the eastern edge of the Wolds. It lies 11.0 miles west of Mablethorpe (from Mablethorpe: bearing 279°T, OS grid TF 329 874), and is situated east-south-east of South Elkington village. The landscape here shifts from high, chalky ridges to fertile lowlands, where the Muddy River Lud has long provided the hydraulic pulse for local milling and commerce. Once a site of significant ecclesiastical upheaval during the Tudor era, the economy now leans heavily upon the vitality of its independent traders and the rhythmic, weekly arrival of agricultural produce. The morning light often catches the flint-strewn walls of the older quarters, casting long, sharp shadows that seem to anchor the buildings to the earth with a quiet, stubborn permanence. The soaring spire of St James’ Church serves as a vertical anchor for the streets, a gothic needle that draws the eye toward the clouds above the bustling market square. Beyond the commercial heart, the verdant basin of Hubbard's Hill offers a steep, secluded sanctuary where the water runs clear over stones worn smooth by centuries of seasonal floods. Literary ghosts linger in the local air, as the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson attended the grammar school here, his early verse perhaps shaped by the melancholic beauty of the nearby marshlands. Residents often gather near the quiet banks of Spout Yard Park, observing a pace of life that values the preservation of its Georgian facades over the frantic modern rush. Louth retains a singular, dignified character, defined as much by its stubborn architectural heritage as by the enduring, subtle hum of a place that has learned how to age with grace.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any British town, village or landmark by name; offers OS Outdoor and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled OS National Grid so the map can be read like a printed Explorer sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an OS National Grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference remains correct even where the map cannot load.
