A birthday present that was to happen in April. The VIP lounge was very comfortable although we were soon invited through to the aircraft cockpit. My first impression was a big WOW. We settled in. My wife in the passenger seat behind the pilot, me in the captains seat beside Ian the co-pilot. Ian was wonderful with clear and careful instructions and the takeoff from Innsbruck went very smooth. We were heading for Salzburg. So realistic were the views from the windows that you believed you were in the air. My landing at Salzburg was quite good. Our next flight was over the Grand Canyon. Ian had me flying along the Colorado river in the canyon. So many tight turns, very exciting. We landed at Los Vegas after flying down the strip. I had a one hour flight but in the end I wanted more. I would recommend this experience to everyone. Thank you Ian

It feels like you step back in time when you walk around,very well laid out and the guide book is very informative. Nice little cafe and gift shop Well worth a visit

My husband has always loved windmills and I thought that a week at the Maud Foster mill would tick all the boxes for him. All I can say is that it ticked all the boxes for both of us, as the hosts provided the best self-catering facilities that we have ever experienced. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and very comfortable and there were the little extras provided, such as the loaf baked from the Mill's own flour and the provisions of all the basics (butter, milk, tea, coffee and more) to enable guests to settle in immediately. We were also treated to a private tour round the mill itself, which is, of course, still a working and very active mill. Richard, who showed us round, gave us an interesting insight into the history of the mill and the processes that are gone through to produce the various types of Maud Foster flour and porridge. The Mill is sited close to the centre of Boston with plenty of eating places and pubs within walking distance. For those who like things mechanical the Bubble Car Museum and the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Museum are not far from Boston. Ayscoughfee Hall in Spalding has beautiful gardens and a cafe which serves very good lunches, the Hall itself is not open to the public at present. We had a great time in Boston and can only say what we said to James and Richard, the hosts when we left, which was that we felt as if we had spent a week with friends who had really put themselves out to make sure our stay was the best it could be.

What a wonderful place this is. Spend a couple of hours, strolling around the marsh's, observing a wide ranging array of birds. The place attracts seasoned bird watchers and newbie's like us. If you enjoy walking or bird watching, this is the place for you.
5. St. Botolph's Church (Boston Stump)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 380 reviews
St. Botolph’s Church, often known as ‘Boston Stump’, is spectacular from outside and in and is described by Pevsner as a ‘giant among English Parish churches’. Boston Stump has always been a landmark to both seafarers and people travelling across the flat fenland that surrounds the town. Over its 700 years the church has played its part in both national and international history. It will be forever linked through the puritan emigrants who in 1630 followed in the wake of the Pilgrim Fathers and founded a new Boston in the United States of America. The size of which has long since surpassed Boston in Lincolnshire, but the close links are never forgotten. Come and climb 209 steps for the Tower Experience and then visit the Coffee Shop & Gift Shop or reflect in our sacred space. St Botolph’s Church is open Monday – Friday and is free to enter, although charges do apply to the Tower Experience. Tours are offered by prior arrangement.

Soaring over the Lincolnshire Fens, Boston's St. Botolph Church greets visitors approaching from all directions. St. Botolph Church, more commonly known as Boston Stump, can be viewed for many miles around. The flatness of the Fens enables the visitor to see far into the distance, so anyone visiting this architectural marvel will spot it well before arriving in Boston. The building is a gem, and while it is technically merely a parish church it is cathedralesque in scale and design. Completely free to enter there is however a small charge of £5.00 to head up the very narrow staircase in the main tower for uninterrupted views right across southern Lincolnshire, with both the Wash and the Norfolk coast visible. This building is steeped in history, and we were lucky enough on our visit to encounter three fantastic staff members; all of whom went above and beyond to provide us with a friendly and knowledgeable welcome. One staff member even offered us an informal tour of sorts, which allowed us to further delve into the history of the building; a history that would have been lost on us were it not for the offer of a tour. Before we left my partner and I sponsored a couple of LEGO bricks in the LEGO model of the church currently, I am told, not quite half complete. This structure is a marvel in itself; the LEGO stained glass windows are genius. If visiting Boston St. Botolph's Church is unmissable, quite literally.

I walk my dogs here most days. One area is called Jennys woods - which is quite an open area with a few large ponds and solid paths. The other side is called Westgate Woods which has lots of trees. On very hot days Westgate side is ideal because the trees provide pleasant shelter. I've met some very nice dog walkers there and had many interesting chats. If you want somewhere safe,peaceful then this is the place. There is a small lane that separates the two areas. The Fishermans Rest sits between the two. It provides cooked meals. If you drive further into that area you will find some lakes and lodges. There you will find The Mallard, they only sell cake but the hot chocolate with all the trimmings is something to die for!!!

Staff couldn't have been more helpful to us 4 old farts out for a night's bowling. Despite being 30 years older than the majority of the kids there, we had a great time. Everyone was very friendly and we had a great hour bowling, then played a game of pool, good bar and great amenities. Will definitely come again.
