places to visit in Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire is one of the UK’s hidden holiday gems, a county rich in variety, offering everything from traditional seaside fun to peaceful countryside escapes. Whether you’re after a relaxing break or an action-packed family holiday, Lincolnshire has something for everyone. In this blog, we’re going to be discovering the best places to visit in Lincolnshire!

Why Lincolnshire Makes a Great Holiday Destination

Lincolnshire combines everything you could want from a UK getaway, natural beauty, rich history, family attractions and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s a county that gives you space to unwind without ever feeling too far from something exciting.

From the wide, unspoilt beaches of the East Coast to the patchwork fields and charming villages inland, Lincolnshire delivers a refreshing change of pace. You’ll find traditional seaside places packed with things to do, as well as peaceful nature reserves and countryside trails perfect for walking, cycling or simply soaking up the view.

It’s also one of the more affordable counties to holiday in, making it ideal for families, couples, retirees and groups. Whether you’re looking for bucket-and-spade days, heritage trips or somewhere quiet to recharge, Lincolnshire ticks every box.

Boston – History and Heritage

If you’re looking for a mix of culture and charm, Boston is a must-visit. Known for its rich medieval history, this market town offers plenty to explore, especially for history lovers and those who enjoy a slower pace.

Start with St Botolph’s Church, also known as The Stump. This iconic landmark is one of the tallest medieval towers in England and offers panoramic views from the top, which is well worth the climb!

Wander through Boston’s historic town centre, where cobbled streets, nice architecture and independent shops create a great day out. Don’t miss the Boston Guildhall Museum, where you can learn about the town’s fascinating past. Including its links to the Pilgrims who sailed to America.

For something more peaceful, take a walk along the River Witham, or time your visit with one of the town’s weekly markets, packed with fresh produce and local finds.

 Skegness – The Classic Seaside Town

A holiday in Lincolnshire wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Skegness, one of the UK’s most beloved seaside destinations. With its nostalgic charm, family-friendly attractions and lively pier, Skegness has something for everyone.

Relax on the wide sandy beach, ideal for building sandcastles, paddling in the sea or just enjoying the coastal views. Grab some freshly cooked fish and chips and enjoy them on the seafront while the kids play in the arcades or try their luck at the 2p machines, it’s a rite of passage for a British seaside day out!

Skegness is also home to top family attractions like the Skegness Aquarium, where kids can get up close with marine life, and the Natureland Seal Sanctuary, which rescues and rehabilitates seals and other coastal creatures. For a dose of evening entertainment, catch a show at the Embassy Theatre, which has a variety of performances throughout the year.

Ingoldmells – Fun for All Ages

Ingoldmells is one of Lincolnshire’s most vibrant seaside destinations, offering excitement, entertainment and attractions for visitors of every age. Whether you’re bringing toddlers, teens or young-at-heart adults, there’s always something to do here.

At the heart of the action is Fantasy Island Theme Park, packed with rides ranging from gentle carousels to white-knuckle rollercoasters. It’s the perfect spot for family adventures, especially when you want a full day of thrills just steps from your accommodation.

Ingoldmells is also home to Europe’s largest indoor seven-day market. Where you can browse hundreds of stalls selling everything from clothing and toys to homeware and gifts. It’s a great place to pick up souvenirs or enjoy the local hustle and bustle.

The best part? Kingfisher Caravan Park is located right here in Ingoldmells, meaning you don’t have to travel far to enjoy all of this. Wake up, step outside, and you’re already minutes away from the fun.

Chapel St Leonards – A Peaceful Coastal Spot

If you’re looking to slow things down and soak in the peaceful side of the Lincolnshire coast, Chapel St Leonards is the perfect place. Just a short drive from Ingoldmells, this charming village offers a quieter alternative to the busier places.

Enjoy long walks along the unspoilt sandy beaches, where the sound of the waves and fresh sea air create the perfect setting to relax and recharge. The beach is rarely crowded, making it ideal for couples seeking a romantic escape or families who want to enjoy a more tranquil day by the sea.

You’ll find traditional seafront cafes, fish and chip shops and ice cream parlours, all with a friendly local feel. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or just a cuppa, it’s the kind of place that still feels like a proper British seaside village.

Chapel St Leonards is also a great starting point for coastal walks and cycle routes, with stunning views and plenty of wildlife to spot along the way. It’s especially well-suited to older visitors or those looking to unwind at a gentler pace while still being close to the action at Kingfisher Caravan Park.

Hidden Gems and Nature Spots

Lincolnshire is full of surprises, and if you’re after something a little quieter or close to nature, there’s no shortage of hidden gems to explore.

Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve

Just south of Skegness, Gibraltar Point is perfect for wildlife and one of the UK’s best spots for birdwatching. Its walking trails take you through dunes, salt marshes and lagoons, with stunning views across The Wash. It’s peaceful, scenic and ideal for nature lovers or anyone looking to take a break from the busier attractions.

Wolla Bank and Anderby Creek

These lesser-known coastal spots offer quiet, unspoilt beaches that feel a world away from the crowds. Perfect for picnics, peaceful walks or soaking up the natural beauty. Anderby Creek is also home to the UK’s first official cloud-watching platform, a unique touch that adds to the experience.

Hardy’s Animal Farm

This is a fantastic option for families, especially those with younger children. Kids can feed the animals, enjoy tractor rides and burn off energy in the soft play areas. It’s fun, educational and great for a hands-on day out.

Jump Warriors

This is ideal for those rainy days when the beach isn’t an option. Located near Ingoldmells, this indoor trampoline and adventure park is brilliant for kids (and adults!) who want to bounce, climb and play. It’s energetic, exciting and a great addition to your holiday.
