  • 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.

The on-site bar and restaurant are popular, with reasonably priced, well-cooked food. It's highly regarded for its fishing and dog-friendly walks.

Susan R.

Camping pod (comfort, double, pet friendly)

Liked The location, we were visiting family who recently moved to the area. The toilet/shower facilities were clean and warm. The site was beautiful with the ponds etc and I can imagine in the sunshine it would be a great place to stay.

Disliked Not their fault but the weather was awful! After a beautiful summer it rained almost constantly and there was nowhere to sit other than the bed in the pod. The on site pub closed at 4pm but we sat in there for a while and it was very nice, dog friendly.

Catherine K.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The pitch sizes. The walks .

Disliked Unfortunately the toilet/shower block was in need of a good clean , there was toilet paper on the floor for 3 days . Bed linen from ( I presume) the pods, was left to ‘air’ over the railing at the shower block . There is no coded entry to the toilets/showers , which means they are accessible to anyone who chooses to use the country park . Staff could benefit from customer service training . We gave up and left half way through our intended stay.

Anthony H.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The site layout and facilities

Disliked Alarms went off in the early hours (01:15 and 06:45) and you can hear the trains running but nothing to drastic

The restaurant was really busy with local residents and getting served was an hour plus for Breakfast and Sunday lunch was again very busy, but that is a good thing for the Park owners (a tip, get in early) food was good.

Great place, recommend it along with Roast Parsnips and a Trout Lake.

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.
