Whether you’re a history buff, a nature enthusiast or seeking family-friendly activities, Lincolnshire has a choice of must-see attractions and experiences. 

Living in Lincolnshire puts you in the perfect location to enjoy everything the county has to offer. Here are our top five things to do in Lincolnshire:  

  1. Explore stunning nature

Unwind in the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Beauty, which offers 216 square miles of unspoilt countryside, rolling hills and all kinds of nature to spot. Perfect for lovers of nature and active explorers, the Lincolnshire Wolds is a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike. 

For a coastal adventure, explore Lincolnshire’s Natural Coast. Sutton-on-Sea is perfect for family days out, while Anderby Creek offers a relaxing escape, ideal for long walks and beautiful coastal views. 

  1. Take a step back in time

The county has a captivating history and is home to some of the UK’s most impressive historic buildings. Discover Lincoln Castle, which was built by William the Conqueror in 1068. Here you can walk in the footsteps of Kings, view the impressive Victorian Prison and take to the Medieval Wall Walk for spectacular views across Lincoln and the surrounding countryside.  

You can also visit a variety of National Trust properties, like the Grade I listed Belton Estate, which showcases stunning architecture and landscaped gardens. Travel further back in time at the 15th century Tattershall Castle, a striking redbrick building steeped in history.  

  1. Get up close and personal with wildlife

Lincolnshire offers a selection of unforgettable experiences for animal lovers. The Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, the county’s premier animal attraction, is a must-visit. Here, you’ll come face-to-face with a diverse range of animals from around Europe, including tigers, leopards, parrots and otters.  

For a more intimate encounter, head over to the Natureland Seal Sanctuary. Renowned for rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned and injured seal pups, the sanctuary offers visitors a chance to learn about these captivating creatures and the role they play in protecting marine wildlife.  

  1. Unleash your inner thrill seeker

Lincolnshire offers exciting theme park adventures guaranteed to create lasting memories.  

Unleash your inner thrill seeker at Fantasy Island in Skegness. A popular park boasting a mix of heart-pounding roller coasters and refreshing water rides, Fantasy Island makes a great day out in Lincolnshire. 

  1. Shop big brands and independent boutiques

With big name brands sitting alongside independent boutiques, Lincolnshire offers a fantastic shopping experience. In the vibrant city of Lincoln, the Waterside Shopping Centre offers convenient indoor shopping, from high-street favourites to essential retailers, all under one roof.
