Things to do around Lincolnshire

Here's a summary of delightful activities for a day out in Lincolnshire, a county in the east of England:

1. Cycle through the Water Rail Way route:
- Start your day with a scenic bicycle ride along the Water Rail Way. This 17.5-mile looping trail starts from Lincoln city's Waterside South Bridge, runs along the River Witham, and passes through Woodhall Spa to the Lincolnshire Wolds. Along the way, you'll admire historic buildings in urban Lincoln, learn about the daring RAF 617 Squadron and their role in the Dambuster Raid, and enjoy sculptures and local inspirations in the fenland. There are turnaround points throughout the route, so you can tailor the ride to your preference.

2. Explore Medieval Lincoln City:
- Spend a day in Lincoln, the historical heart of Lincolnshire. Visit Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle, both 11th-century remnants with impressive architecture. The castle even houses a Victorian prison! Explore the independent boutiques in the Bailgate and Uphill area, and wander through Cornhill Quarter for a mix of cafés, high street brands, indie stores, and restaurants.

3. Visit a Lincolnshire Spa:
- Treat yourself to relaxation at one of Lincolnshire's spas. Unwind, rejuvenate, and enjoy pampering treatments in a tranquil setting.

4. Scenic Ride on the Great Central Railway:
- Take a nostalgic trip on the Great Central Railway, a preserved heritage railway in Leicestershire. Hop aboard a steam train and experience the golden age of rail travel.

5. Discover Bradgate Park:
- Explore Bradgate Park, a stunning natural reserve with ancient woodlands, rocky outcrops, and herds of deer. Don't miss the ruins of Bradgate House, once home to Lady Jane Grey. The park offers picturesque walking trails and breathtaking views across the Leicestershire countryside.

Remember, Lincolnshire offers a mix of history, natural beauty, and outdoor adventures – perfect for an unforgettable day out!
