The Walled Garden Baumber

Reviewed By anniegQ9928YM

A hidden gem! We went out today and decided to visit the Walled Garden and had a wonderful time. The gardens are well-maintained, with themes, excellent planting and structures to explore. There is a lovely tea-room with excellently priced food and drinks, and a brilliant boho vibe to the indoor room. We could have chosen to sit outside in one of the many socially distant willow arbors as well. We bought sculpture and plants, and were spoiled for choice for wonderful things. (I may have to go back for a picnic basket...) The staff were friendly and helpful, and there was even free parking. I can't fault it, and will most definitely go back!

The Village, Church Farm

Lincolnshire's only open air museum set in 3 archers of gardens & orchard a short distance from center of Skegness. We have the oldest residence in Skegness, a Mud & Stud Cottage, historic farm machinery, a Richard Hornsby Traction Engine in full working order and so much more. You can finish off your visit in our Tea Room, The Haven.

Reviewed By Q491XYtm

The volunteers were very helpful and knowledgeable about their chosen subjects (traction engine and world war 1 and 2 memobilia to name a few) It's needs more support ( and better signage) as it is a hidden gem. The exhibits are good. Donation only but well worth the money.

RAF Scampton Heritage Centre

The RAF Scampton Heritage Centre is housed inside the Annexe offices of the former 617 Sqn Hangar which is an English Heritage Grade II listed building. After a period of extensive renovation work carried out by volunteers, the Heritage Centre re-opened in June 2012. There is now the opportunity to see Wg Cdr Guy Gibsons office as it would have looked like in 1943. The Heritage Centre is open to the public by appointment only. To arrange a visit, please send an email, or use the contact us page on our website. We require a minimum of 14 days notice to complete security screening. We can accommodate groups large or small, including school trips.

Three of us spent a enjoyable and informative 4 hours at the RAF Scampton Heritage centre. If you are interested in RAF or WWII history this is a must see as it the base 633 Squadron was based at when they carried out the famous Dambusters raid. Guy Gibson’s office has been recreated in its original location and there is significant amount of equipment from the raid including the bomb aiming kit and an actual bouncing bomb. The centre also has details of 633 squadrons other raids and its activities after WWII. As the RAF Red Arrows are also based at RAF Scampton there are a Gnat and Hawk in Red Arrows colours in the hangar. Normally you would be able to sit in the Hawk but this is currently not possible due to Covid-19. The museum is manned by volunteers who have worked very hard to preserve very important artefacts. It is low key but well done and beautifully presented. You don’t a fancy cafe or gift shop but you do get enthusiasm, passion and a warm and friendly welcome. Thank you for taking the time to show us around.

Steep Hill

Reviewed By 698SuzanneN - Nottingham, United Kingdom

As the name suggests this is a very steep street with lots of lovely independent shops, cafes, galleries etc. Cobbles and steepness would make me very cautious in inclement weather!
