Over 200 acres of woodland, lakes and meadows to explore. All within easy reach of Lincoln City Centre – lincolnshire.gov.uk

Hartsholme County Park is a bit of a favourite of ours, so JD, Mark, bump, my mum and I took a trip there last weekend. JD loves it because there’s masses of space to run around in, a good size adventure playground, and insects everywhere. The lake is HUGE, offering a decent walk if you make your way round it, and there’s a pleasant enough cafe that serves hot and cold food.

Getting there

By car, it’s a simple drive up Skellingthorpe Road (LN6 0EY if you’re using your sat nav). By bus, take the 66 from Lincoln city bus station and it’s a manageable walk from the drop off point.
