Havenhouse Farm

Get along to Lincolnshire seaside days at the famed resort of Skegness, home to not only a long stretch of beach but also Natureland Seal Sanctuary, Skegness Aquarium, the National Parrot Sanctuary, a theatre, Skegness Stadium and a lengthy pier with amusement arcade and bowling. Regular buses stop three-quarters of a mile from Havenhouse Farm. Just alongside Skegness is Ingoldmells and the theme park Fantasy Island; from here, travel north to other Lincolnshire seaside towns like Sutton on Sea and Mablethorpe, or south to the Norfolk side of The Wash at Hunstanton and Snettisham. Gibraltar Point, the sand dunes and marshland nature reserve with thousands of squalling seabirds, is just to the south of Skegness. For family options alongside the aquarium and other critters of Skegness, try Hardys Animal Farm at Ingoldmells, Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary at Huttoft, or the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, in the countryside just outside Boston. Inland, traverse the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty of the Lincolnshire Wolds, and their well known market towns such as Louth, Alford and Market Rasen.
