  • 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.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Level pitch
Good Services to the pitch.
Park and Bouncy castle.

Disliked Shower and toilet blocks dated and not the cleanest, not very well ventilated either and turn into a sauna after your shower.
Park needs more for younger children, including a baby swing.

Chelsea W.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked We loved this site, so peaceful and everyone was really respectful with noise. When you have young children you're grateful for the quieter evenings.
The paddle board lake is great too and we did a couple of hours on here.
The first pitch we was given was more gravel than grass and were in a VW camper with awning but after asking we were put on another pitch which was perfect.

Disliked Really minor but the shower rooms could do with a shelf to put your dry clothes on. Also the pitches are very much geared up for motorhomes and caravans and there's no tents allowed which is a shame as our friends wanted to come but couldn't as they only have a tent. With a VW camper and awning having a grass space for the awning is needed. The lake for SUPing and swimming could be open for longer.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you :)
We have just updated our lake activity hours - Wild swimming 10 &5pm. Paddle boarding 11-5pm.

Hope to see you again soon :)

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Pitches were spacious, level and private, WiFi option worked well and very reasonably priced. Bar and restaurant well stocked, bar prices very reasonably priced and food well cooked and presented. Shower blocks and toilets were kept clean and in good working order. Plenty of park walks for the dogs. Friendly staff, well maintained facilities and grounds. Looking forward to the completion of the planned small on site shop.

Disliked Would like another Elsan point at the opposite end near the Pods, but understand that this is expensive to accommodate as a retro fit - please consider when upgrading shower blocks in the future

From the manager: Thank you for this lovely comment. I will pass this suggestion over to the managers :)

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.
