Ark Wildlife Park
Award winning wildlife rescue Zoo offering up close encounters with exotic animals, play areas and more.
View and BookPoplar 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.

We stayed here so as to introduce my husband's sister, partner and dog to the delights of this part of Lincolnshire as well as a meal in the local pub which we have been to ourselves on several occasions. We were greeted at the entrance by the owner whilst we were filling our water tank, and told we could pitch up where and how we liked in any of the remaining pitches. We pitched up facing the sun - bit of a mistake as it was so very hot for the 3 days we were there - but not to worry. My sister in law was able to pitch adjacent to us. As we all like to get out on our bikes we cycled to Horncastle on the first day via the Spa Trail - easily found on Google Maps - stopping for ice creams at the Big Chair in Horncastle (highly recommend) before heading back on the trail and on to Woodhall Spa for liquid refreshments at the lovely Petwood Hotel and then The Inn. Day 2 we cycled towards Stixwould and got on the Water Railway (NCN1) at the old railway station - and headed towards Lincoln, stopping at Bardney (again for liquid refreshment) before continuing on to Five Mile Bridge (Lincoln was just too far for my sister-in-law). We cycled back getting off the cycle path at Woodhall Spa, stopped once again for liquid refreshments (a staple) and then back to Kirkby on Bain. Normally on our rides we would have seen an abundance of wildlife - but it was so hot the birds/deer etc must have all been in the shade somewhere. The road running adjacent to the CL was quite busy during the day, but come the evening was very quiet. This CL is very well kept and dog friendly, For cyclists the roads roundabouts are pretty quiet. The Water Railway goes all the way to Lincoln in one direction and Boston in the other - and is lovely to cycle - especially on a calm day (it can be hard work if in a headwind). For those interested in RAF history it is the ideal location - as it is ideally situated for visits to the BBMF at RAF Coningsby and Woodhall Spa and all its associations to 617 Dambusters Sqn. The Kinema in the Woods at Woodhall Spa is also worthy of a visit. The Ebrington Arms is well within walking distance - and serves up lovely food - as well as having strong connections to the RAF - especially World War Two. We booked the site via their web site which was extremely easy, as was payment - which I agreed could be taken off my card once we arrived on site (I had to enter my card details when booking). My sister in law paid via BACS - though cash was also accepted.
