When ready to discover the very best that the area has to offer, grab your walking boots and head for the Lincolnshire Wolds – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; or nearby Hubbard’s Hills. You can enjoy a beach day at any time of year on the vast beaches of the Lincolnshire coast – Theddlethorpe or Moggs Eye are good places to start. For something a bit more lively try any of the well-known coastal resorts – Cleethorpes, Sutton-on-Sea and Skegness. A 45 minute drive takes you to Fantasy Island theme park at Ingoldmells, where you can ride thrilling rollercoasters or just enjoy the faces of your family and friends riding them! The Georgian market town of Louth is a hidden gem. The town is blessed with a wide range of independent shops and eateries. For something cultural, visit the Louth Museum, or take a look round the impressive medieval parish church with its famous spire.Nature lovers will love local nature reserves at Red Hill, Snipe Dales, and the internationally important Donna Nook and Gibraltar Point reserves. All the family will love exotic menagerie at Woodside Wildlife Park. A visit to Lincoln is a must. Take a walk up Steep Hill – browse the shops, eateries and pubs up this historic route (take your time, it’s called ‘Steep for a reason). When you reach the summit, you have the opportunity to visit the historic castle and the world famous cathedral (see if the kids can spot the elusive Lincoln Imp). Once you’ve made your way back down the hill, reward yourself with a drink or meal beside Brayford Pool marina! Further afield you can take a trip across the impressive Humber bridge, and spend a day in Hull at ‘The Deep’ Aquarium, one of the largest in the country. Close by are city centre shops, restaurants and the marina. Make the most of quality time with your loved ones on an unforgettable holiday where memories will be made that last forever
