Greenacres Caravan and Touring Park

Historic towns and cities for wandering around? Kickstart your tour with Newark-on-Trent (20 minutes’ drive) on the river Trent, where there are castle ruins from the 12th century, a Georgian town hall and a county showground with antiques fairs throughout the year. Lincoln (40 minutes), Newark-on-Trent’s bigger brother you might say, has a medieval cathedral with a historic library of sorts containing early printed books. The Magna Carta lies in wait in Lincoln Castle, and the Museum of Lincolnshire Life turns back time to show the city in the Victorian area. A historic village visit too, perhaps? Edwinstowe (20 minutes) has Robin Hood legends, from the church where he supposedly wedded Maid Marian to Sherwood Forest 10 minutes’ walk outside of the village. There, track down Major Oak, an 800-year-old tree nicknamed Robin Hood’s tree.
