  • Peaceful touring site near Bourne, Lincolnshire
  • Beautiful location near a river and woodland; dogs are welcome
  • Close to historic town of Stamford and the famed Burghley House
Grab the dog (if you've got one – no need to acquire one specially) and head to Cresslands Touring Park in South Lincolnshire for woodland walks and lazy days near the River Glen. A good base for exploring the surroundings and enjoying a bit of outdoor time, the park is five minutes from a peaceful woodland, for long walks and spotting wildlife (including the kingfishers which live along this stretch of the glen). Guests can also head to the nearby river for walks, or take bikes out onto quiet countryside lanes. Not got a mutt? The site's also welcoming to cats, rabbits… even kids. Whoever's in your party, head to the opposite riverbank for a popular walking spot leading to the nature reserve along the Macmillan Way, a long-distance footpath linking Boston in Lincolnshire to Abbotsbury in Dorset. After all that fresh air you won’t have to venture far for a drink and a bite to eat – Waterside Garden Centre is 500 metres away with a restaurant, and there are a few pubs around a mile away if you fancy some pub grub. Cresslands is four miles south of Bourne, which has a greater selection of eateries, and the historic town of Stamford, with its attractions such as the famed Burghley House and Park and open-air theatre, is about a 25-minute drive. Bathroom facilities on site include two showers, two toilets and two wash basins with instant hot water and nifty extras including shaver ports and hand dryers. Two washing-up sinks and a washing machine are also available.

What customers say

Beautifully landscaped, well-kept grounds focused on nature/wildlife. Spacious, private, full-service pitches. Immaculate, modern facilities. Owner David gets high marks for warmth and helpfulness. Some guests note road noise from nearby A15 at busy times.

Liked Beautiful site managed by our host David who has made the site into a first class touring park. The whole place is a labour of love and has been designed with spacious pitches all serviced with both water and electric and grey waste disposal. We were made to feel very welcome. There is a lovely walk just off the site and our Labrador took full advantage of having a dip under the bridge in the stream. Although only a short stopover on our way back home to Norfolk we would most certainly return should we head that way again.

Disliked Some road noise but nothing major and it didn’t disturb our sleep

Great site, clean facilities, David was very friendly and help.

Liked We were met with a very warm welcome by David and shown to our pitch. It is obvious from the great layout of the site and cleanliness of the facilities that a lot of thought and effort has gone into making the site a great experience for those using it.
There is a good garden centre just a short distance away where you can get a nice meal. There is access to the Macmillan Way just up a few steps leading from the site. There was some traffic noise but nothing that would stop us using the site again, we will definitely be returning.

Liked We loved the layout. Private spacious pitches. Environment was well thought out and cared for. David was friendly, welcoming and clearly takes pride in the site.

Liked Nice small site, very good amenities. Near MacMillan trail for long walks along R Glen

Disliked Site is adjacent to busy A15 road so there’s a constant road noise, but tbh this becomes a background drone

Local attractions

Go wandering in Bourne Woods, a peaceful and ancient woodland around five minutes away by car, or give your legs a real workout by linking up with the Macmillan Way for 290 miles of footpath crossing the Lincolnshire Fens. Visit Burghley House and Park, a 16th-century country house near Stamford (25 minutes by car), built for Elizabeth I's lucky Lord High Treasurer Lord Burghley. Sights to see include the Great Hall with hammer beam roof, collections of 17th-century Italian paintings, the gorgeous Heaven Room painted by Verrio, and the gardens packed with sculptures, flowers and plants. While in Stamford, pay visits to All Saints Church and the Stamford Arts Centre, home to art galleries and the tourist info centre. You might also stroll around the Stamford meadows for birdwatching or a picnic on the banks of the Welland. Another option in town is All Saints Brewery, for guided tours of the microbrewery and tastings of its specialised fruit beers. For folk seeking a slice of city life, Peterborough is a 25-minute drive away.
