  • Peaceful retreat with fishing on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds
  • A 15-minute drive from Louth and 25 minutes from east coast beaches
  • Wildlife haven with two fishing lakes; walk to the village social club
Scenic Alvingham Lakes is a peaceful holiday retreat on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds with the added bonus of fishing on site. Just 15 minutes' drive away from the historic Georgian market town of Louth, it's easy to track down a varied selection of good eateries and pubs. Plus, some of the finest east coast beaches are also a short drive away. The site has two fishing lakes crammed to the brim with common, mirror, grass and Crucian carp as well as roach, rudd, bream and tench – plus what the owners say are a few little surprises. Folks flock here from all over for the fishing and peacefully scenic surrounds, on a friendly and calm site full of feathered inhabitants like heron, moorhens and doves. It's a basic but well-maintained site, with a toilet, handwashing facilities and barbecues (and dogs) allowed; there's also a self-service café for drinks and snacks in between angling or just wandering placidly around the scenic surrounds. Louth is three miles away and a big supermarket is within 15 minutes' drive of the site. For drinks after a long day's fishing, the village social club is a short walk away.

What customers say

This tranquil, adults-only spot gets kudos for its friendly owners, Ian & Terri, and beautiful, peaceful lake views. Guests loved the great fishing, wildlife, and fresh eggs. Well-kept with clean facilities, though some found shared bathrooms basic and far. Bumpy road, but manageable. Near Louth & coast. Many want to return.

Local attractions

The pubs, eateries, independent shops, traditional markets and award-wining butchers and grocers of lovely Louth are three miles away; after eats or shopping, have a wander around this historic town to see its 17th- and 18th-century buildings or take in a show at its Riverhead Theatre. Louth market days are on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The towpath of the disused canal runs along to Louth if you want to get there via a scenic wander, while if you're up for a longer walk you can follow it from there all the way to Tetney Lock, via the local churches, heaps of wildlife and spectacular views. A 20-minute drive away is the Donna Nook National Nature Reserve, where seals come to pup each autumn, and 30 minutes away are the beaches of Lincolnshire's eastern coast.
