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.

Electric grass pitch

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!!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: It was £25

Disliked: You get what you pay for. Toilet facilities were clean. No problems there. Overall a very run down sight. Everything round about looked like it needed a good clean up. Eg. Children’s play area

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a review. Firstly, you are right about the price, you do get what you pay for. We are a family orientated site and some of our best feedback comes through that we have a lot of children’s play equipment on site as children are allowed to be children here. Unfortunately they do not always clear up after themselves and we get bikes and toys back to where they belong. Not sure what you mean by the stating “it needed a good clean up”.
As for being a very run down site, we have spent many hours maintaining this site and also improving the facilities. We are continually changing, replacing and improving everything that it needs. There are always ongoing projects which we are committed to finishing and this is a continual process. At the end of the day The Beeches Campsite is not for everyone so let’s leave it at that. We do however take great pride in this facility and the majority of feedback is positive.

The campsite was lovely and quaint. The play ground and the bikes…

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.
