Long Acres Touring Park

Aside from the local shops and pubs, there are food and craft markets pretty much every day of the week, with the largest to be found in the pleasant market town of Boston, which also boasts some good restaurants, an impressive church and the country’s largest working windmill. The tranquil town of Spalding has a pretty waterfront and good shopping, and the historic city of Lincoln, with its breathtaking cathedral, is well worth a visit. There’s also an interesting aviation museum in nearby East Kirkby, where an incredibly rare Avro Lancaster Bomber can be found among the military planes and vehicles on display. For those who fancy a trip to the coast, the many attractions of bracing Skegness are an easy ride away, with the unspoilt dunes and marshes of the Gibraltar Point nature reserve just to the south of the bustling seaside resort. Visitors can also see some amazing natural spectacles at the famous RSPB sanctuaries of Freiston Shore and Frampton Marsh, home to thousands of wading birds. There’s excellent angling in the many river and drainage channels that crisscross the fen, and the flat countryside and traffic-free roads make for great cycling, too - Long Acres’ owners have written up several interesting routes to help guests make the most of the wide open spaces around and about. The Snipe Dales Nature Reserve, ten miles away, is a good option for walkers.
