Why stay here ...

Poplar Farm CL is located on the banks of a beautiful chalk stream - the River Bain. It's a half acre, south facing site which offers 5 level grass pitches, all with 10amp electric hook ups and very close proximity to fresh drinking water.

There is ample room for awnings, and extra cars if needed - at no extra cost. Well behaved dogs are also welcome, again at no extra cost.

Our location is perfect for visiting the local area. The site is just a few minutes' drive from the A153. The A153 is the main road that leads to the historic market town of Horncastle "Antiques capital of the UK" or head south to Coningsby, the home of the Battle of Britain memorial flight, - maybe visit Tattershall Castle, a 15th century red brick castle with superb views across the Lincolnshire landscape. Both Horncastle and Coningsby are just 10 minutes away by car.

If you prefer to walk or cycle, you are well catered for here. There are a number of footpaths leading directly from the site along the river, either into the village of Kirkby on Bain (which has a cosy pub serving real ales and award winning food) a 10 minute walk, or head North to Haltham lock then Roughton village - Making an ideal circular walk of approximately 3 miles.

Why not Cycle the beautiful lanes to the inland resort of Woodhall Spa (3.5 miles) for a coffee, or to sample something delicious from one of the many cafes/restaurants. Maybe stop and visit one of the many nature reserves in the area and catch a glimpse of a Fox, Muntjac deer or even a White Admiral Butterfly.

Perhaps you're just happy to stay on site; fish for Chub or Trout, or sit and relax and listen for the Kingfishers flying by.

Whatever you like to do on holiday, I'm sure Poplar farm CL and the surrounding area will deliver.

Fiona and Bryan look forward to meeting you soon.

A little disappointing

Just stayed at Poplar Farm for 2 weeks. First impressions were of a compact, well-maintained site with nice riverside walks and plenty of wildlife. However, on the first night, as the site is on the corner of a T junction, we became aware of heavy traffic... Show more
