  • Peaceful, well-kept park with six lakes, walking trails and wildlife
  • A 15-minute drive to Lincoln; half an hour to the Lincolnshire Wolds
  • Café-bar, wifi, play area, takeaway food and fishing
Rural roams are firmly on the agenda at Hanworth Country Park, a serene site dotted with pretty paths and six lakes around 15 minutes’ drive from Lincoln. And angling’s on the cards too – four of the bodies of water here, stocked with mirror carp, common carp, chub, barbel, ide, perch, roach and tench, are open for fishing. There’s also a café-bar to order takeaway food and drink (with a handful of tables if you fancy eating in). Travelling with the tiddlers? Let them roam free in the play area. Animals are also often seen scampering around the park, especially around the lakes and woodland: think buzzards, red kites, woodpeckers and kestrels, as well as brown hares, squirrels, hedgehogs and deer. Attempt to catch a glimpse of these critters while roving along routes through the country park, either on foot or by bike; a favourite trails is the famed Lincolnshire Spires and Steeples path, which runs through the park and ends up at Lincoln Cathedral. Closer by is the village of Potterhanworth (10 minutes’ walk), a peaceful place with a handful of amenities including a large playing field with a play park, a skateboard park and tennis courts. A pub’s in the centre of the village – handy for evening drinks – and there’s a bus stop plying the Lincoln to Sleaford and Lincoln to Boston routes for explores via public transport. Surrounding villages such as Metheringham, Branston, Heighington and Washingborough are all within five miles and have conveniences like food shops, inn, takeaways, cafés, butchers and post offices.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: The park was lovely and clean and tidy and the staff were excellent especially in the restaurant even though they were under pressure. The staff were very informative about walks and cycle tracks.

Disliked: The toilets and showers were not very clean and could do with getting rid of the shower curtains although they were extremely warm. Water was red hot one minute and freezing the next. Did not bother us as used our own after that.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Love this site. It was quite busy compared to when we stayed previously, but it was Easter Weekend.
Great that they now do water activities even though I didn’t try them. It’s far too cold for me still!
It was nice to see all the efforts to bring people to the site with bouncy castles and Easter egg hunts.
Staff were lovely.

Disliked: The men’s shower block needs some attention - there is nowhere to hang anything to keep things from getting wet. Very cramped area and ended up having to stand in a puddle of water to change as the curtains didn’t stop the water

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: What’s not to like this campsite is SUPERB! The staff are excellent..friendly and accommodating. The site is spotless and the fishing lakes are an added bonus. The wildlife around the site is fabulous and love to hear the geese….chatting away! We really enjoyed our first stay here and have booked again for July.

Disliked: The only downside maybe for some but not for us was the WiFi. You have to pay for this and the service was intermittent but it’s not a priority for us but guess it would be for those addicted to their screens.

Great option if you don’t like the all singing and dancing sites. 😉

Local attractions

Pootling around on public transport? The nearest train station is in Metheringham (five minutes’ drive) for catching a ride to places including Peterborough, Sleaford and Doncaster. Lincoln (15 minutes) has a larger station with access to more destinations, but it’s worth lingering in this lovely city for a little while before fleeing further afield. Don’t miss the castle and cathedral or the shops and eateries in the cobblestoned Bailgate area. Keen to blend a few historically minded expeditions into your stay? Learn all about the Second World War at the International Bomber Command Centre (10 minutes), a memorial and interpretation complex dedicated to the RAF force that helped bring D-Day about.
