  • 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.

What customers say

Great site, good pitches & clean loos. Popular bar/eats, reasonably priced. Ace for fishing & dog walks. A few noted train noise & shower niggles, but most keen to return.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Site was kept clean and tidy staff were helpful and polite the food was excellent and the added bonus was a reasonable priced bar on site. Pitches were a great size and flat a little hard to get awning pegs in.

Disliked The showers could do with an upgrade

Fully-serviced concrete slab campervan or trailer tent site (small)

Liked Loved the setting which was good for dog walking.
The bar and restaurant was excellent and lovely staff.

Disliked Toilets and showers were not cleaned in the 2 days we were there ☹️
No where to wash plates!
Tuesday morning at 8.00am an artic lorry drives through the camping site with a container! Then it lowered the container next to the toilet and shower block! I was not impressed, we had no knowledge of this happening.

Angela W.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Tidy pitches

Disliked I never write reviews but felt I need to I’ve been to so many campsites but this is the worst I’ve ever been too. This could be an amazing site with proper thought. The train noise is so loud the pitches are right next to it and it’s all day all night one night it was every 15 minutes you can see them flying passed like a plane coming in. I stayed for 7 nights and got basically no sleep. The shower blocks are good but they can be used by male and female and all the fishermen use them which is wrong they need separate ones for the fishermen. I wouldn’t feel safe with my kids using them on their own In fact I’m surprised it’s allowed. The locks are stupid everyone just keeps bursting in they need normal turn locks not metal spring back drilled in wood. The restaurant is good food nice enough but one night we thought we would go up for a drink to the young lad to say to us sorry we are shut they shut over an hour early. To top it off on our last night there was new people that came and played music until 12.30am shouting and swearing. I read the leaflet thinking I could call the warden but no number you need to walk and get it from reception. So if there’s a problem you need to walk in the pitch black for a number at reception. All parks should be manned there is no warden or anything so people do what they want. I paid a premium at £280 for a week and I need a weeks holiday to get over it which is a shame as I was so looking forward to it. There is so much land it would make much more sense putting the touring pitches in a field away from the trains with a separate shower block. Also no wifi but that did not bother me.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Amazing sized pitch on the fully serviced, the bar was great treat in the high temperature while we were there. The country park was lovely to walk around and an easy walk into Branston. All staff were friendly and welcoming.

Disliked There was no free WiFi but lucky the signal was good.

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.
