Dainville Caravan Park

The seaside’s the star attraction around here – it's an easy five-minute drive to Skegness to ride donkeys or horses along the sands, or come eye to eye with sea-dwelling creatures at the aquarium or Natureland seal sanctuary. A model village, amusement arcades and an indoor play centre are in the resort too to keep the nippers happy. Head north for five minutes instead to get to Ingoldmells for adrenaline-packed rides at Fantasy Island theme park, or rather more leisurely ones on the Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway. The Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve is 15 minutes away for walks, bike rides and birdwatching, and the North Shore Golf Club is half a mile away for folk who like a sea view while they tee off. Leave the coast behind for a bit and you can ramble along the trails of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or wander around the grand grounds of Gunby Hall (both 15 minutes’ drive). If you've got a soft spot for four-legged creatures, head to Northcote Heavy Horse Centre or the Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary, both 20 minutes away.
