Doddington Oaks CL

Why stay here ...

Doddington Oaks CL Site is aptly named for this charming location, accessed between two handsome oaks and a leafy lane off the B1190. Once through the trees, the vista changes to open fields, hedgerows and woods where the site is on your left.

Further afield the unique 'Artist's Retreat' (www.gillianbeale.co.uk) doubles as a site hut. In addition to the abundant wildlife (Roe deer, Muntjac, Badger, Fox, Squirrel, Brown Hare and hedgehog - Buzzards, Pheasants, Grey Partridges, and a host of other bird species, all recently sighted) you might glimpse a lesser-spotted painter in a floppy hat if you're lucky - but mostly the species is reclusive and they only come out when it's not windy and the sun shines.

The site is what will be a screened-off part of a much larger field. Horses and sheep may be grazing in the nearby fields. Pitches are lawned with electric hook-up and space for awnings. Adults, children and pets are welcome. Local convenience store/garage/restaurant (500 metres). The site is within close proximity to Doddington Hall Esatate (1 mile), Whisby Nature Park, Teal Business Park and Whisby Garden Centre.

A bus service and cycle track into Lincoln can be accessed 500 metres from the campsite at Damon's roundabout. A new Sustrans cycle track from Doddington village to various locations is also now operable.

Although a rural location, this site is extremely handy for access to the A46 and other major tourist attractions in the heart of Lincoln (6 miles), with its historic Roman, Norman and Tudor past, housing the Cathedral, Castle, Steep Hill and unique Bailgate shopping area uphill.
