There are plenty of footpaths on which to explore the countryside and within only ten minutes walk you will discover many activities in which to partake: horse-riding, fly-fishing, golf and bowls are well catered for nearby.
This part of Lincolnshire's Poacher Country is a treasure trove of pretty hamlets and charming market towns with buzzing atmospheres, Nature Reserves, the Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Tennyson Country and of course the wonderful Lincolnshire seaside resorts. A visit to the imposing City of Lincoln with the awe-inspiring Cathedral and the port of Boston with its famous 'Stump' is also a must for those interested in the history of the county.

CROFT
This little marshland village boasts one of the finest churches of the marshland.
There are monuments and brasses, a handsome lectern and a chancel screen (15th
century) to delight the children. Look for a carved lion, hare, squirrel, fox
and monkey.
The footpaths around Croft are very clearly signed, with new stiles and footbridges-a
delight to the enthusiastic walker.
WAINFLEET ALL SAINTS
Nearby to Croft Bank is Wainfleet All Saints. This peaceful little town is steeped
in history; the Magdalen College School (now housing the Library, Museum and
cafe) was built by Bishop William of Waynflete in 1484. The town has excellent
hostelries, many supplied by the town's world famous Bateman's Brewery which
has recently opened a Visitor Centre. Perhaps the most unusual group of buildings
in Wainfleet are in Barkham Street. Built in 1847 for the Bethlehem Trust, the
three-storey terraced rows are similar in style to those built for the Trust
in London and no attempt was made to fit in with their surroundings in town.
BURGH LE MARSH
The charming town of Burgh le Marsh
has plenty of interest to the visitor, including the Open Market which was re-established last year (2002), having been originally granted its Market Charter in 1401.
The handsome and interesting Church of St Peter and St Paul's can be seen for
miles around and the sound of its bells reputedly saved the lives of a ship's
crew at a time when the coastline was much closer. The church clock-face warns
'Watch and pray for ye know not when the time is'. Another stunning feature
on the horizon is Dobson's Mill, built by Sam Oxley in 1813; the view of the
five giant sails gently turning in the breeze is truly a magnificent sight.
