A Great Lincolnshire Staycation

With breathtaking countryside, historic charm and the seaside, Lincolnshire has all the ingredients for the perfect staycation. Cycle the Wolds, lace up your walking boots, pull up a deck chair, dip your toes in the sea, get your culture fix - it's all possible on a short break to lovely Lincolnshire.

A 'Wold' Apart

Those who stray a little off the beaten track will be amply rewarded with hidden beauty spots and local secrets. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the case of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Our back door has the bucolic charm and heritage of the Cotswolds, without the crowds.

Our wolds are off the average tourist’s radar, but they’re not without recognition. Back in 1973 their unique scenery, history and wildlife were protected when they were designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ever since its beauty has been quietly preserved, the secret kept. It’s now the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside in the East Midlands.
