  • 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 Spacious superpitch with ehu, water, drainage.
Great free shows from the Red Arrows.
Some confusion on our arrival re. our request for a pitch change, which seemed more difficult for them to do as we had booked through pitch up and it was pre-allocated. They sorted it in the end.
Trains can be noisy but this is advertised on their website.

Disliked EE signal very sketchy, and their WiFi is too expensive, so we didn't purchase it.

Although they do have a large gate on the access driveway, I'm unsure if this is closed overnight; we've noticed some vehicles going up and down it as late as 1 - 2am. So this made us question how secure it is, which might be a factor for some.

Camping pod (comfort, no pets, double)

Liked Hanworth country park is in a beautiful rural setting, we stayed in the Shepherds hut which was clean, dry and warm it had a microwave, kettle and toaster which was fine for us. Booking in was very easy and the staff were very helpful. The clubhouse had a roaring fire and was very welcoming. The showers and toilets were spotless.

Disliked It would have been nice to be able to book in earlier than 4pm.

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.
