Lincolnshire - things to do

[Cheetahmum]

We're off to Lincolnshire on Friday for a week. We're staying in an Airbnb near Grantham. 'We' consists of me, DH and two boys aged 10 and 13.

Anyone have fun suggestions of things to do?

So far we've booked Ancaster Go Karting and the Lincoln Aqua Park. Any other suggestions gratefully received.

I have been told different, also by a policeman. Maybe the police force in Lincolnshire have their own rules.

Good tip! Plus all the other info, thanks.

And thanks everyone else

If you’re going to conningsby then Woodhall Spa is ten minutes down the road and worth a visit. jubilee park has an outdoor swimming pool and the “kinema” (no idea why it’s spelt with a K) is a very cute and old fashioned cinema in the middle of the woods. It’s like stepping back in time.

Lots to do if you don't mind driving.

As already mentioned, Lincoln is lovely, the Castle is great. The cathedral is the most beautiful in the world, if they still do the roof tour that was really good.
Belton House is fab, as is Tattershall Castle - both National Trust. Tattershall is close to Woodhall Spa, don't miss the Kinema in the Woods, see if they have a showing with the organ.
Woolsthorpe Manor, the home of Isaac Newton, is also National Trust, the hands on science centre is fun.
Anderby Creek is a lovely beach. The coast is a long drive from Grantham. Skegness is a shithole.
Heckington Windmill if you like windmills, or beer.
The Bomber Command Centre outside Lincoln is fascinating and moving.
Burghley House, Belvoir Castle, Grimesthorpe Castle.

It's a bit run down and very windy, but if you like fairgrounds, candyfloss and kiss-me-quick hats it could be fun !
