Edge of the Wolds
A very tidy and peaceful site. The best welcome we have ever had at a CL site. The owner (who was in the middle of the lambing season) left his supper to come out and welcome us. We loved the peace and quiet and you can walk your dog/s on the farmers land as long as you keep them on the lead as this is a working sheep farm. We had to go off-site with 'Piglet' our motorhome so decided to visit Bolingbroke castle, Spilsby, Bluestone Heath Road viewing site and Horncastle which were all very beautiful. The roads were amazingly quiet and a joy to drive (we did visit in March though). The only down side I can see for some would be access to local amenities, such as shops etc. We like to walk and have two dogs who love to walk too, so walking into Woodhall Spa was not an issue for us. If, like us, you like to pull on site and leave your motorhome in position and walk to the local shop then be prepared for a 3 mile hike at least. There is some noise from aircraft that operate out of Coningsby but they are not low-level and low in frequency, but if you like aircraft then you might be lucky enough to see the Red Arrows or some Typhoons flying about. We saw both and once we saw a flight of 4 Typhoons (Eurofighters) fly over on their way home. If you like walking then you can easily walk to either Woodhall Spa or Horncastle via the Viking Way which you can access without having to walk along any major roads. On one occasion we walked from the site into Woodhall Spa to get some supplies. Walked along the Viking Way to an old railway bridge where the road crosses the Viking Way. Turned right off the Viking Way and followed the road into Roughton. Then turned right again along Moor Lane and back to the site. We estimated that we had walked about 9 miles and our hounds can attest to the fact as they spent the whole night laying on their backs with their legs in the air.
