Things to do on site and in the Skegness area
For those interested in fishing, the site has two onsite lakes for you to choose from. The main lake has an excellent reputation for fishing due to the variety (carp, bream, roach, rudd, perch, tench, barbel, eels, pike and bream).
With private individual fishing pegs or the grassed peninsula (ideal for customers that don't do well with steps or for those who wish to fish together) there really is something for everyone. The nursery lake in the field behind is ideal for beginners or those wanting to catch smaller fish.
Around the site are seating areas where you can watch the wildlife or take in the amazing sunsets. Bird watchers should look out for the family of resident kingfishers. With owls, kestrels, swans, wild geese ducks and moorhens, there's always something to see. Not forgetting the pet chickens that free range around the site which produce the eggs for sale.
For days out, the popular seaside resort of Skegness is also only 15 minutes away. The sandy beach is great for those sunny days, whilst Natureland Seal Sanctuary is perfect for wildlife lovers.
