Witham Way Country Park

The old railway line from Boston to Sibsey has been transformed into a proper country corridor, and Witham Way Country Park is where it gets interesting. You're walking or cycling along a flat, well-maintained path that follows what used to be the Witham Valley Railway - the kind of route that appeals to everyone from serious cyclists to parents with pushchairs who want a break from the usual park loop.

The path itself is the attraction. It winds through Lincolnshire countryside with open views across fields, and you'll pass through areas where the landscape opens up unexpectedly - no hills to complain about, just steady, easy going. Birdwatchers get excited here, and if you're staying at Orchard Holiday Park or Appletree Holiday Park just down the road, this is exactly the sort of low-key activity that fills a lazy afternoon without any fuss.

Allow an hour for a casual stroll or three to four if you're cycling the whole length. Spring and early summer are best when the verges come alive, though it's pleasant enough year-round. The main appeal is simplicity - no entry fees, no queues, just a track through the countryside. It works brilliantly as a break between holiday park activities, and Big Sky Hideaway Camping and Glamping is close enough that you could make this your morning walk before settling in elsewhere. Boston's just a few miles away if you need anything beyond what the route offers, though honestly, the appeal here is precisely that it doesn't try too hard.
