Local Attractions

The peaceful countryside of Lincolnshire is the perfect place to visit to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There are plenty of activites and places to visit to suit everyone, from cycling to museums to theme parks!

Here are some suggestions to get you started on planning your perfect getaway:

Walking and Wildlife:
The scenic Lincolnshire Wolds have been designated as an AONB. The sprawling countryside with its beautiful scenery and historic sites is renowned for its walks and long distance paths. Willingham Woods, situated just outside of Market Rasen, is a large woodland area with a number of different trails to explore. Cyclists and horse-riders are allowed to visit the woods upon obtaining a permit. For more information on walking and cycling routes in Lincolnshire, visit the LCC Country Access Website

Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve is a three mile stretch of unspoilt coastland famous for its outstanding wildlife, especially its birds. Enjoy bird watching from its observatory ‘The Look out’ and, after a walk on the beach, relax in the cafe at the visitors centre. The internationally renowned Donna Nook is a must for its large and very accessible Grey Seal breeding colonies. They can be seen calving in October to December each year and there are excellent public viewing areas that allow you to get a fantastic view of the seal pups.

Visit the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust website for more information on Gibraltar Point and other nearby nature reserves.

For those wishing to see some more exotic animals, Friskney’s Parrot Zoo or The Woodside Wildife and Falconry Park make fun days out. The Parrot Zoo, incorporating the National Parrot Sanctuary, boasts the UK’s largest collection of parrots and is keen on conservation and research. Woodside Wildlife and Falconry Park is home to owls and eagles as well as marmosets, butterflies and lizards!

For animals that are a little more familiar, Rand Farm Park near Lincoln offers children a hands-on learning experience at a genuine working farm.

Historic Sites and Museums:
Lincolnshire is full of historic sites and buildings. A must-see is Lincoln Castle, one of the most impressive Norman castles in the UK and home to one of the four remaining copies of the Magna Carta. Lincoln Cathedral, a short walk from the castle, towers grandly over the city; the oldest parts of the cathedral are almost a thousand years old. Nearer to Greetham Retreat is the stunning Tattershall Castle; built in the 15th Century this rare, red brick castle with six atmospheric floors to explore and fabulous views from the battlements is a medieval gem. Visit the National Trust Website for more information.

There are also a great many Aviation Heritage Centres nearby. The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, just seven miles from the Retreat, is a family run museum that holds the very rare Avro Lancaster Bomber in its collection. Visit The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre on a flying day for a truly spectacular experience. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitor's Centre at RAF Coningsby provides fascinating exhibitions as well as the opporutnity to take a guided tour around the hangar to see the Flight's historic aircraft.
