We chose this site as I had to take my ebike to nearby Leadenham to get serviced - and we were so glad we found it. We were made very welcome on our arrival - and we had the whole place to ourselves over the 4 days we were there. The site sits not far off the A17 - but you could barely hear the traffic. A public footpath runs through the site, so we took advantage of that one evening and walked a loop back to the campsite (the return was up the hill on the grass verge adjacent to the road). RAF Cranwell sits on the other side of the A17 so a cycle ride to nearby Navenby had us cycling back through the base after following the sat nav which also took us down a very rutted, challenging part of Ermine Street - the old Roman Road (more for pedestrian traffic really). We also cycled round the area on the CL side of the A17 and went through some lovely little villages - with some lovely little pubs with the all important beer garden! We also cycled to nearby Belton House - the cycle ride there was pretty quiet - but we chose to cycle back via Ancaster - on what we believed would be a relatively quiet B road - it wasn't - not to be repeated! We have booked to return in a couple of weeks as we want to explore this part of Lincolnshire a bit more - and with only being about 40 mins from home - we are not venturing too far to get away. We were situated in the bottom terrace which was very well kept. The sunsets were well worth sitting out in the freezing cold for, and it was lovely watching the kestrels toing and froing from their nesting site in the trees. Although we saw no red kites, we saw plenty other birds of prey as well as a couple of deer walking across a nearby field. It was lovely to get away after months being cooped up in the house!
