Low Farm Touring and Camping Park

Historic Folkingham is a pretty place for a wander after your cream tea or pub lunch: look out for the Grade I-listed 12th-century church, the 17th-century manor house on the edge of the marketplace, and the somewhat ominously named House of Correction, on the site of Folkingham Castle. The Fens are nearby for hiking and biking, and there's a good pick of plenty of local walks and bike routes around quiet roads linking Lincolnshire's villages. Good options for village hopping include the 12th-century market town of Sleaford, 10 minutes' drive away; Newark, famed for its siege in the Civil War, and Grantham, the former schooling place of boffin Isaac Newton. Grantham is also home to the somewhat splendid Bevoir Castle, half an hour's drive from Low Farm; fans of old piles could also take a look at Tattershall Castle (35 minutes), Belton House (25 minutes) and Burghley House (45 minutes). Lincolnshire is aviation land too: high flyers should like the Cranwell Aviation Heritage Centre, 20 minutes away at North Rauceby, and a trip to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight visitor centre – and frequent flying displays – 40 minutes away at Coningsby.
