Bird Watching
Watch birds while relaxing in your holiday accommodation.
Early morning is typically the best time of the day, many birds are searching for food which makes them easier to observe.
As well as our own Running ducks, we see many wild birds in our trees and around our lake. Barn owls nest nearby.
As the sun sets in the evening the swallows swoop over the lake catching flies for the last feed of the day. The Barn Owls can be seen hunting too.
The countryside around Lakeside Farm is dotted with superb bird watching. Freiston Shore, an area near Skegness, comprises Britain’s most important bird watching destination, with over 700,000 wintering birds annually frequenting its marshes. Skegness’ visiting bird watching enthusiasts will also enjoy exploring the Snipe Dales, where a broad spectrum of habitats attracts all manner of birdlife

SPILSBY THEATRE
Spilsby has a successful small theatre offering a lively programme of local and international musicians, theatre and workshops. It is housed in a grade 2 listed former Courthouse saved by the
Dandelion Trust from becoming a grain store.
Lincoln Cathedral
In 1092 the Cathedral at Lincoln built by Bishop Remigius was
consecrated.
Remigius, a Benedictine monk and supporter of William the
Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, was the first Norman
Bishop of the largest diocese in medieval England, extending from
the Humber to the Thames.
The Cathedral of this diocese had been at Dorchester, near Oxford,
but in 1072 William instructed that the Bishopric should be moved
to Lincoln.
A Castle had already been established in Lincoln by William, located in the south-west corner of the old Roman upper city. The new
Cathedral was built of Lincolnshire oolitic limestone opposite the castle in the south-east corner.
Lincoln Castle
By Norman times, Lincoln was the third City of the realm in prosperity and importance.
In 1068, two years after the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror began building Lincoln Castle on a site occupied since Roman times.
For 900 years the castle was used as a court and prison with many being executed on the ramparts.
Many original features still remain and the wall walks provide visitors with magnificent views of the Cathedral, the City of Lincoln and the surrounding
countryside.
Lincoln Castle is situated in the North Historic centre of Lincoln. The nearest parking facilities can be found at The Lawn Visitor Centre, Union Road, Lincoln and Westgate Carpark, Westgate, Lincoln
and lots and lots more culture within easy reach of Lakeside Farm
