Seacroft Holiday Estate

Seacroft has private access to the beach via 23 steps, while the long sandy shores of Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea are each a mile and a half away. For extra coastline explores, Donna Nook National Nature Reserve is 25 minutes from the site covering six or so miles between Grainthorpe Haven and Saltfleet. This famed spot backed by sand dunes is home to grey seals birthing in the late autumn and early winter months; if you’re here in the summer season you can birdwatch instead – rarer birds like snow bunting, redshanks and lapwings have all been spied here in warmer weather. If you’re sorry to miss the seals, a sanctuary over in Skegness (a further 10-minute drive from the park) means you can visit them all year around. More up for shopping than seals? Around the same distance away at a 25-minute drive, the seaside town of Ingoldmells has Europe’s biggest indoor market... and amusement rides at Fantasy Island for afterwards. Louth (30 minutes) is also grand for browsing the racks, while Horncastle (35 minutes) in the stunning surrounds of the Lincolnshire Wolds is famed for its antiques.
