This seaside resort comes with the classic English seaside holiday activities: the donkey rides on the beach, the pier, the crazy golf, but there’s more to this Lincolnshire town. ‘Skeggy’, as it’s affectionately known has rollercoaster rides and a seal sanctuary plus a blue flag beach, Skegness has something for everyone!
The Quorn Hotel receives excellent feedback and we have revised the itinerary this year to get more out of the area and allow some free time in ‘Skeggy’.
Monday We head to calling at Stamford, an ancient town of mellow stone and full of old world charm. (Middlemarch was filmed here!)
Tours whilst a resort
A | We visit the nearby Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Museum where you can experience WWII aircraft including a Lancaster and a Mosquito. There is also an exhibition based on all the parts of a WWII Bomber Command Airfield. We return to Skegness for free time in the afternoon.
B | We make a morning stop at Woodthorpe Garden Centre, one of the first garden centres in the UK and has a fantastic range of plants plus gifts and homewear Plus of course a café! Then Into the Wolds and we make a stop in Louth, where Wednesday is market day. Louth is known as the capital of the Wolds and is an attractive Georgian town with plenty of character and independent shops and cafes. We return home via the A153 across the Wolds.
