Watermill Leisure Park

Walkers and cyclists have plenty of choice of routes nearby: directly outside the site, a path leads into the woods and on to longer hiking trails, and the Viking Way starts from the village of Nettleton two miles away. Another good place for a walk is the Far Ings Wildlife Reserve, half an hour's drive away. Along the banks of the Humber estuary there’s lots for birdwatchers in particular, with geese, starlings and swallows among the birds nesting here. It’s also one of the UK’s best strongholds for bittern. If you’d like to get a bird’s-eye view of the forest, take to the trees at Wild Pines Park, 20 minutes away, where you can tackle the high ropes course and fly through the canopy on ziplines. Down on solid ground you can also follow a treasure hunt or have an archery lesson. Life gets even wilder half an hour away at Woodside Wildlife Park, where the inhabitants include tigers, lemurs and various reptiles. Fancy a beach day? It will take you just over half an hour to drive to Cleethorpes.
