This magnificent Church Of England Parish Church is outstanding as a place of worship and a very friendly staff of clergy and choir . We came here for the service of Nine Lessons and Carols prior to Christmas and having participated in the lovely music and singing were offered refreshment afterwards with no payment required , just a collection during the service. This is the way to start the Christmas Festival .

We've just enjoyed lunch at Unique Cafe - delicious fresh paninis and strong English tea, with individual tea pots for each of us. The 90 minute allocated slot was ideal. The excellent Covid regulations in place made us feel completely at our ease - will definitely return next week. Well done to Fern and her team. Kind regards Theresa
6. Scalextric Racing

Reviewed By justins600 - Bourne, United Kingdom
A balanced review here..... which echoes the good and bad reviews I think. The place is great, our family have been 5 times now. It’s good value for money, the racing is fun and competitive, and the time will fly by. You can pretty much spend 2 hours here and not notice. The tracks have recently been upgraded and new courses put in.... But.... yes the guy who runs it is a bit annoying at times, but he’s enthusiastic and is trying (sometimes badly) to have a laugh with you. Put your frustrations with him to one side and enjoy this place for what it is, a damn good 1/2 day out.

Im local to Moulton have been for 18 years and pending. What can i say. This place is a very welcoming village. I always enjoy walking past on a nice sunny day with blue skies. There is a nice cafe inside post covid restrictions and they have been producing their own flour which they supply the local shop with. I have been to the top many years ago and the views are incredible. I remember seeing Boston stump! Im not sure if its still running these.

A family home built in the 1450s, Ayscoughfee Hall stands in 5 acres of Gardens. The Hall tells the story of the people who lived here, as well as local history, and the Gardens are full of interesting features including an ice house and War Memorial designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Ayscoughfee Café is open year round and is a great place for drinks and light refreshments.

The gardens are lovely to wander round. The museum is fascinating and well worth a visit. Great helpful staff too.
10. Baytree Owl and Wildlife Centre
Overall Ratings

Visitor attraction and falconry centre with over 100 owls, birds of prey and native British wildlife, plus flying displays, hands-on experience sessions, animal adoptions, gift shop and more.
Reviewed By 605joew
After visiting the centre a few years back we have become very frequent visitors. With such a great variety of birds and wildlife on show, and the collection being added to, its a great place to spend a few hours. The flying demonstrations are always great to see and always very informative. And each year a new team of birds is used to keep things fresh. We have participated in a few of the flying encounters now and they have to be our favourite! Nothing beats a bird of prey flying to you and landing on your glove. It really is an incredible experience. Anyone thinking about visiting, you will not be disappointed, and I can guarantee you will want to visit again and again and again.
