  • Peaceful retreat with fishing on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds
  • A 15-minute drive from Louth and 25 minutes from east coast beaches
  • Wildlife haven with two fishing lakes; walk to the village social club
Scenic Alvingham Lakes is a peaceful holiday retreat on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds with the added bonus of fishing on site. Just 15 minutes' drive away from the historic Georgian market town of Louth, it's easy to track down a varied selection of good eateries and pubs. Plus, some of the finest east coast beaches are also a short drive away. The site has two fishing lakes crammed to the brim with common, mirror, grass and Crucian carp as well as roach, rudd, bream and tench – plus what the owners say are a few little surprises. Folks flock here from all over for the fishing and peacefully scenic surrounds, on a friendly and calm site full of feathered inhabitants like heron, moorhens and doves. It's a basic but well-maintained site, with a toilet, handwashing facilities and barbecues (and dogs) allowed; there's also a self-service café for drinks and snacks in between angling or just wandering placidly around the scenic surrounds. Louth is three miles away and a big supermarket is within 15 minutes' drive of the site. For drinks after a long day's fishing, the village social club is a short walk away.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Stayed here while visiting Cadwell Park racing circuit. Great quiet site ideal if your into your fishing. We loved the animals, budgies and chickens. Not sure if chickens are supposed to eat crushed Rich Tea biscuits but they seem to love them..lol. Owners were really friendly, would recommend this site if your in the area.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Loved the peace and quiet on the site lots of fancy little chickens roaming freely and ducks also fishing if thats what you're in to. There are 4 hook up pitches and 1 shower and toilet facility but no washing up room which wasn't a problem for us. Nice little shed which sells ice creams teas and coffee, cold drinks and fresh eggs from the chickens. Ian was a great host and very friendly. All in all a fabulous relaxing 2 night stay with beautiful beaches about a half hour drive away. 5 stars from us.

Local attractions

The pubs, eateries, independent shops, traditional markets and award-wining butchers and grocers of lovely Louth are three miles away; after eats or shopping, have a wander around this historic town to see its 17th- and 18th-century buildings or take in a show at its Riverhead Theatre. Louth market days are on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The towpath of the disused canal runs along to Louth if you want to get there via a scenic wander, while if you're up for a longer walk you can follow it from there all the way to Tetney Lock, via the local churches, heaps of wildlife and spectacular views. A 20-minute drive away is the Donna Nook National Nature Reserve, where seals come to pup each autumn, and 30 minutes away are the beaches of Lincolnshire's eastern coast.
