Plots Farm Caravan and Camping

Doddington Hall & Gardens (10 minutes’ drive), built during the late reign of Queen Elizabeth I, has an expansive network of (dog-friendly) estate trails, as well as padel courts. The West Garden is a riot of colour during the summer season, and the site also runs a lively calendar of events, from open-air theatre to jazz sessions. In Lincoln (15 minutes), the 11th-century cathedral and castle sit facing each other, separated only by two gates and a short walk. From there, make your way down Steep Hill (so named with good reason: it has a 14% gradient), stopping at various independent shops and cafés. On the outskirts of Newark (25 minutes), the Newark Air Museum has a rich collection of vintage and modern aircraft. There are pleasant walks along the River Trent and views of the Newark Castle ruins from Riverside Park. The National Civil War Centre - Newark Museum explores the history of this 17th-century conflict.
