Beautiful woodland with so much going for it, 34 acres to wander round which has so many interesting features, structures, eco buildings, and animals scattered amongst it, they do weddings, burials, the cafe is the best, only open Sundays! And there is so many education and training programmes you could get involved with too plus a little shop selling their wood crafts! A must do visit!

Situated within Whisby Nature Park, The Natural World Centre is just five miles from Lincoln City centre.

We have visited several times recently for long walks and with a big family group from 1yr to 67yrs. It's a great place for children including a good indoor play area and lots to do outside. Each time we've had lunch in the cafe/restaurant which has lovely views and excellent home cooked food which is great value. Children's meals are very reasonable with a good choice of proper food. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

Bransby Horses is one of the UK’s largest equine welfare charities in the UK, completely funded by the generosity of public donations. We are dedicated to improving the lives of horses, ponies, donkeys and mules since we were established in 1968. We have rescued, rehabilitated, re-homed or retired thousands of equines and we are working harder than ever to continue making a positive difference to equines wherever and whenever we can. Between our two sites in Lincolnshire and Herefordshire we have over 400 animals currently in our care, which keeps us constantly busy. Bransby Horses Visitor Centre near Lincoln is open to the public. A great day out for all the family with plenty to see and do.

This has always been a very pleasant park in which to take a stroll but now it is even better following significant investment in the last few years. The bandstand and other features have been restored, paths and signage have been improved and there are more facilities, including a cafe. I saw plenty of ducks, geese and swans on my visit and there were several people throughout the park enjoying another of Lincoln's lovely green spaces.

We had been shopping at the Carlton Centre and found a sign for this nature reserve. Had a brief walk around and will return for a longer visit now we know where it is. A lovely haven for wildlife and the best time to visit is between April and July. Dogs are not allowed here and it was very pleasant walking around listening to the bird song.

8. Lincoln Arboretum

The Arboretum is less than a 10 minute walk from the city centre, along cosmopolitan Monks Road. It is well worth a visit at most times of the year and we enjoyed a nice walk round the park on a lovely sunny late Christmas Day morning. It is well maintained by the council and a credit to it. My favourite is the promenade, for want of a better word, towards the top with lovely downward views and into the distance. One's mind can easily wander back and imagine walking along here say over 100 years ago when the Arboretum and indeed immediate area would have been in it's pomp. There are some lovely water features and a nice bandstand and the whole place has generally a nice ambience. If you are visitor to Lincoln or indeed a local it is well worth 30 minutes+ of your time. There is only street parking if you have a car and it isn't always easy and a cafe is near the entrance but check on its opening hours.
