Crowtree Glamping

Lincolnshire’s flat landscapes make for some excellent easy walks, so bring your boots along. A good place to start is a stroll along the banks of the river Welland, perhaps as far as Springfields (an hour and a half’s walk) to explore the gardens, play crazy golf or hit the outlet shops. Springfields Adventure Land is a good option for kids, too (10 minutes' drive if you don’t fancy the walk). Being close to the coast also gives you the option of walks and wildlife-spotting at places like RSPB Frampton Marsh (35 minutes’ drive) or the fabulously untamed BPAW The Wash nature reserve (40 minutes). If you like to theme your strolls around historic buildings, aim instead for Ayscoughfee Hall Museum and Gardens, or Britain’s tallest mill Moulton Windmill (both 10 minutes). On a fine day, a water-taxi trip or hiring a boat for a trip around Spalding is a lovely way to spend some time (look out for wildlife like kingfishers along the river bank…). Of course, it’s not a bad idea to have a plan for a damp day too – perhaps Scalextric Racing (10 minutes) for a bit of action or a sweet little trip to the Bubblecar Museum (40 minutes) would fit the bill.
