Occupying an area northeast of Lincoln and running broadly parallel with the coast, the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty features some of the most gorgeous countryside in the East Midlands. This is no sterile park; it’s a working landscape with plenty of habitats for protecting some of our most endangered species. Areas of woodland, unique grasslands and former chalk pits are all vital elements in this work.
Other features are the dramatic western scarp, the dry-sided valleys and the former sea cliff to the east, all of which evolved during the ice age some 150 million years ago and which today mean this AONB is the highest point in the east of England between Kent to the south and Yorkshire in the north.
Agriculture is by far the most important economic activity here, with 80% of the AONB used for arable use. Back in the 13th century, it was one of the most densely populated areas of England, but plague, land ownership and the rise of vast private sheep pastures took their toll. The AONB was designated in 1973 and covers some 550 square kilometres.
Top Lincolnshire Wolds AONB Camping Options
Ashby Park is a pleasant, well-run park located in 70 acres of former gravel pits that now provide seven attractive fishing lakes. There is a series of clearings occupied by privately owned caravan holiday homes, seasonal caravans and 127 touring pitches. All have access to 16A electricity and 100 pitches also have hardstanding, water tap and drainage.
Alongside the Lindsey walking trail and surrounded by mature Forestry Commission woodland, this small, attractive touring park is very peaceful. The new owners, John and Brenda, will make you very welcome. They have upgraded the facilities and have plans for further improvements whilst still maintaining the site’s identity as a tranquil retreat. There are 60 well spaced pitches, 52 with 10A electricity, marked out in a single, mainly flat, grassy field divided by a central gravel road and with a double row of trees providing useful visual screening. About a mile away is the small town of Market Rasen.
Caisor Lakes offers 28 hardstanding pitches, each with electrical hook-up facility. Each pitch has a double wide gravel area, perfect for parking your caravan or motorhome and your car. The adjacent grassed area is ideal for your awning and allows ample space for relaxation. On-site they have fresh water points, waste water and chemical disposal, motorhome drop point and pot washing facilities, as well as 5-star toilet and shower blocks. Pitches start from £22 per night, which incudes two adults, up to two well behaved pets, car and awning. A £20 deposit for electric is taken upon checking in, and any monies not used will be unded at the end of the stay. A £5 fully refundable deposit for a Gate fob which allows 24 hour access to the site for residents is also taken upon check in, and is refunded upon return of the fob.
The Nurseries Caravan Park is a secluded, friendly site set in a beautiful semi-rural location at the end of a quiet lane surrounded by farmland. Only minutes away from Alford, Sutton on Sea, Chapel St Leonards and the unspoilt Lincolnshire Coast.
