Bain Valley Fisheries

When you’re not fishing, set aside some time for a visit to the National Trust’s Tattershall Castle, a medieval red-brick fortress with audio guided tours available, then breathe in the fresh air at the nearby Tattershall Lakes Country Park and Tattershall Farm Park (all 10 minutes’ drive). Wanders done, there are a few unmissable sights for history devotees in the area, including the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight Visitors Centre (10 minutes), a hangar storing RAF planes including a Lancaster bomber, and the WWII aircraft displays in the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre (15 minutes). To find out about a different part of the area’s past, make a beeline for Boston, a market town many Puritans left for the New World. It’s also famed for St Botolph’s Church, which has one of the tallest medieval towers in the country, and market days are Wednesday and Saturday if you fancy a side of shopping with your historical explores. Craving the coast? The seaside – and more specifically, Skegness – is around 40 minutes away.
