I am trying to get started on the armchair treasure hunt. The clue is 'Travel NW where Tennyson dallied by water By the millstream with the owners daughter' Its a place in Lincolnshire NW of Wainfleet.
Thanks for any help

Hello,Hope this helps you on your way. Stockwith Mill NW of Wainfleet is reputed to be the setting for Tennyson's poems "The Brook" and "The Miller's Daughter".
Tennyson was born close by at Somersby and also "Come into the garden Maud" was said to be the garden of Harrington Hall closeby.
All three places are close by and NW of Wainfleet.

Happy Treasure Hunting.

Glad you found the answer to this obmud; I got bogged down , as every little stream in Lincs seems to have been the inspiration for Tennyson's poems !
