Bramble Lodge Glamping

For those of you who are craving the coast, there are plenty of places a short drive away that are likely to hit the spot. Whether it’s spotting grey seals from Donna Nook (25 minutes’ drive) or taking a look at Tank on the Beach (20 minutes), a rusting battle tank that’s stuck in the sand just off the wildlife-packed Rimac Nature Reserve (15 minutes), there’s plenty in the way of wildlife and history… Mablethorpe (20 minutes) has a funfair, aqua park and sandy beach for a traditional day at the seaside. Meanwhile, in Skegness (35 minutes), a day could look like miniature golf games, donkey rides on the beach or braving the rides at Fantasy Island (35 minutes). When you’ve had your fill of all things sand and sea, make your way over to the local market towns. Foodies will be able to sniff out top cheeses and plum loaf in Louth (15 minutes) and relax in Spout Yard with their findings, while Horncastle (half an hour) and Alford (15 minutes) have plenty in the way of independent shops and eateries too.
