Here at Richmond Holiday Centre, you’re just a ten-minute walk away from Skegness’ vibrant town centre. Ideal if you like being in the thick of it. Take a stroll along the town’s lovely seafront and pier, stopping in the pretty seaside bars and cafes along the way. Or else, head down bucket and spade in hand, ready for a family day out on the beach. Natureland Seal Sanctuary is well known in the area for rescuing and rehabilitating injured, sick or orphaned seals which become stranded on Lincolnshire’s shores. In addition to seals, you’ll find an array of other animals at the sanctuary including penguins, meerkats and alpacas. During your visit, you can watch the sanctuary staff feeding the seals and the kids will also be able to join in with pottery painting or get their faces painted like a seal. Just down the road from you, Skegness Aquarium is a great option for a rainy day. Marvel at the incredible world below the sea, take the kids on an underwater pirate adventure and watch live feeds and diver presentations in the Sunken Hold Aquatheatre. If there are any pony-mad members of the family, then take them on a trip to Northcote Heavy Horses Centre. This special spot rescues and cares for ponies of all shapes and sizes, as well as birds of prey and other animals, from the Lincolnshire area. Visitors to the centre can get up close to the horses and even groom them or lead them around. Just a 30-minute drive away, you’ll find the ruins of Bolingbroke Castle. This important fortress was the birthplace of the future King Henry VI and a vital stronghold for the Royalists during the Civil War. Sadly it was destroyed by Parliamentarian forces in 1643. However, the moat and ruins still stand and are free to enter and explore.
