Things to do in Lincolnshire…

Lincolnshire is a stunning yet often overlooked part of the country, and the racecourse is ideally situated between the Lincolnshire Wolds and the North Sea to the east, and the charming historic city of Lincoln to the west. Explore beautiful unspoilt beaches, discover enchanting rolling countryside, or immerse yourselves in history dating back to the middle ages.

 

At the Lincolnshire Wolds you’ll find some of the most beautiful and unspoilt scenery in the East Midlands. With beautiful views to the Pennines in the west and the coast to the east, explore hundreds of miles of rolling hillside, tranquil valleys, untouched woodland and charming villages.

The vast sandy expanse of Cleethorpes beach is the perfect place to spend the day with family. Whether you’re more excited to build a sand castle, paddle in the sea, play rounders or simply dig your feet in and relax, Cleethorpes beach is the perfect destination. Of course, as an English seaside town you’ll find all the usual attractions, from penny slot machines and merry-go-rounds to ice creams and fish & chips, so soak up the enchanting atmosphere and don’t forget to pack your bucket and spade!
