Time and Tide Bell • A Bell Rung by The Rising Tide

The Time and Tide Bell is a sculpture by artist Marcus Vergette’s placed on the shoreline to the north of Mablethorpe in June 2019. It is the seventh such bell to installed around the country since the start of the project in 2009 and the only one in Lincolnshire. At high tide the waves ring the bell adding an extra dimension to the artwork.

The beach to the North of Mablethorpe is vast and entirely unspoiled. The tidal bell adds an unexpected piece of art to be discovered whilst fitting in with the natural surroundings. The project also intends for the Tide Bell to be a cataylst for other activities and just days after it’s installation it was the focal point of a beach party held on the evening of the 21st of June 2019 (the longest day).

Where is Mablethorpe’s Tide and Time Bell?

The Tide and Time Bell is on the shore line to the north of Mablethorpe.

The closest car park is at ‘North End’ on Quebec road and is operated by the adjacent Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary and Wildlife Centre. Note this car park may be chargeable or closed at different times. From the car park follow the path through the dunes onto the beach and turn left. The bell is about a third of a mile to your north.

Alternatively you can park for free and at any time at Crook Bank Car Park at Theddlethorpe. Turn off the Mablethorpe Road (A1031) onto Sea Lane then take the next right on to Crook Bank which is windy, single track road not suitable for large vehicles. From the car park at the end of the road walk north to find the path through the dunes on your right, once on the beach turn right. The bell is about two thirds of a mile to your south.
