Simple site in the grounds of a 19th-century coaching inn
Lincolnshire Wolds walks and Skegness within half an hour's drive
Pub with food; hot showers; 10 mins walk from Aviation Heritage Centre

Hikes, wildlife and generous helpings of history are all dished up at The Red Lion, a simple site in the grounds of an old Lincolnshire inn. At a crossroads in the village of East Kirkby, The Red Lion has been refreshing travellers since 1841; more recently, it was a favoured watering hole for the men and women of Bomber Command in World War II, and the pub’s décor pays tribute to them. The staff are steeped in the history of the old coaching inn and the nearby airfield, and can point you towards the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, 10 minutes’ walk down the road and on the site of the former Royal Air Force base. The Red Lion makes a splendid base for aviation and wartime history buffs, with the heritage centre nearby and the displays and memorials of the International Bomber Command Centre a 45-minute drive away. As it’s on the edge on the Lincolnshire Wolds and around half an hour's drive from the coast, it’s also well placed for walks, stately home visits and wildlife watching. Most importantly, it’s at the back of a friendly pub, with free wifi and serving hot food from 5pm to 8pm (and closed on Mondays and Sunday evenings), alongside local beers and other refreshing tipples. Canine companions are welcome in the bar (it’d be nice if they bought a drink…) and on the site.

2 bedroom static caravan (four person)

Liked: Our caravan was lovely and clean, easy to access self check in info. Staff were very helpful. The camp site accommodates tents and campavans as well as offers the caravan so a few of us with different requirements could all stay in the same site - which is hard to find. Children's park is visible from all pitches so we could keep watch of the kids. A short walk to the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre.

Powered grass and earth site

Liked: Great sized pitches, easy automatic check in system. Great clean toilet blocks with key code only access. Large free showers. Pub food portions were huge and delicious. Lancaster and Mosquito museum literally around the corner from the campsite. Very good WiFi.

Disliked: The pitch sign was lit up all night and caused a small glare, but not really an issue.

Local attractions

With the chalk hills and sandstone peaks of the Wolds so close, walkers and cyclists are particularly well sorted. A 15-minute drive away, Horncastle is a handy point to join the Viking Way: 147 miles of country trails linking the banks of the Humber with the wetlands around Rutland Water. For a more detailed look at the Wolds, take the Lindsey Trail from Horncastle up to Market Rasen (45 minutes by car), a far-from-flat route of around 80 miles passing through a landscape of ancient woodlands, Neolithic long barrows and fenland views. If the sea’s more your style set course for Skegness, half an hour away, for pier and beach walks, sandcastle building and trips to the Natureland Seal Sanctuary. The same distance away but rather quieter, the Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve is a wild stretch of coastline crisscrossed with walks and bike trails, visited by skylarks and terns, brent geese and snow bunting. If you’re up for a stately home or two, you can’t get much more stately than the sturdy brick towers of 15th-century Tattershall Castle (15 minutes), while 18th-century Gunby Hall (20 minutes) is sometimes compared to a (very large) dolls’ house.
