  • Small friendly site 13 miles from Lincoln
  • Level and well-drained site
  • On the Ermine Way and the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Trail
What a handsomely historic location has the hamlet of Byards Leap – for it's between ancient Lincoln and the old market towns of Sleaford, Newark and Grantham, is on an aged Roman road, and is the setting of ye olde Byards Leap legend dating back centuries (Byard was a high-jumping horse, in case you're wondering). And the Knights Templar used to hang out around here too… Folks use The Beeches site in the hamlet as a base to explore historic Lincolnshire or as a stopover enroute to Norfolk or the east coast: plenty of history around in those there parts too. It's a small and friendly site, level, grassy and well drained, with rather nice views over Lincolnshire farmland; access to the Ermine Way is straight from the site. The Beeches has a play area and disabled-friendly amenities a few steps from the pitching area. It's next to the Byards Leap café which dishes up excellent breakfasts and lunches from Thursday to Sunday; a handful of good pubs and restaurants is within a five-mile radius too. Dogs are welcome at The Beeches – and the folk here recommend old Roman road Ermine Street as a top spot for walkies.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: What a beautiful little campsite! Firstly the warden was very helpful, I had messaged before arriving asking for a spot close to the play area and bathrooms as I was solo camping with 4 children, this was sorted without question and I was so very greatful. The play area is one of the best I've experienced, plenty to play on, they had lots of bikes and ride ons, lots to keep kids busy. The bathrooms were clean and tidy throughout, the site was well maintained as a whole.

Disliked: My only dislike is the noise, I did expect the noise, with it being next to a main road and in very close proximity to the Raf camp but i would recommend ear plugs as it's constant even through the night, But that can't be helped. It didn't take away from the trip and the kids slept through it all.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Clean wash and toilet facilities. My daughter loved the park, lost her for hours to it. Helpful staff amd the field was flat. There is road noise so remember ear plugs.
If anyone is looking for things to do, recommend Belton House and Tattershall Farm. Would return again, but when we're not due severe winds and rain!!

Liked: Great small site. Play area was used a lot by my kids and was really good. Road noise is there but not noticeable most of the time. Had a small problem with the electric not working but this was quickly fixed by the owners.

Liked: Warm welcome, play area great, washing up and waste facilities are great and well explained by management. Showers and toilets are good and site layout out is good!
The lids loved it here and was perfect for our overnight stay. Road noise is advertised so we were prepared and thankfully we were parked by toilets so far enough away for it to be background noise. Thank you we were happy with our stay!

Local attractions

Pick up details of local walks, cycle routes and town maps as well as leaflets and tourist info on site: there's quite a bit to do all around. A mix of quiet roads and bridleways linking the area's Lincolnshire villages means there's quite a bit to see if you want to get around by foot, pedal or horse. As well as being on the Ermine Way, The Beeches is also on the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Trail and is close to the RAF Cranwell Heritage Centre and the Newark Air Museum. The Newark Showground is nearby too for shows, displays and events. Plenty more history is at Lincoln – see the castle and cathedral if you only have time for two things – and at nearby National Trust properties like Grantham House and Tattershall Castle. Or take trips around Lincolnshire's old towns, like Sleaford, a market town since the twelfth century; Grantham, where Isaac Newton went to school, and Newark, besieged by the roundy-headed ones in the English Civil War.
