  • Family-run Lincolnshire farm with an aviation museum on site
  • A 10-minute drive from Sleaford and half an hour from Lincoln
  • Well-drained pitches with access to fields for dog walking
A flight simulator, a Vampire T11 nose cone and a full-sized military plane out in the courtyard… the list of facilities in place at Heath Farm Caravan Site is certainly a fairly unusual one. Then again, how often does one get to stay at a place that's also home to an aviation museum? (Not often is the answer… hence this place is likely to be a particular draw for folk fascinated by things that fly, or with an interest in military history). The museum in question is the Cranwell Aviation Heritage Centre, set in the old buildings of Heath Farm and free to visit. The family-run farm and its museum is in the Lincolnshire countryside just outside the little village of North Rauceby and 10 minutes’ drive from Sleaford, a handy spot for heading out to Lincoln, Boston and other towns, visiting relatives up the road at RAF Cranwell or sticking to local lanes for strolls between villages (or village pubs…). If your travelling party features a mutt, there’s plenty of space for them to get out for a walk in the fields next door. Pitches here are on level well-drained land with access to electrical supplies.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Great for a stop over. Easy to find just off A17 nice grassy flat pitch despite recent downfall. Bit of traffic noise but not enough to disturb. Good dog walks! Only one toilet and wash room but roomy and clean. Will stay again.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Absolutely everything!! Lovely well kept, quiet site with easy access in & out. You wouldn't know the busy A17 is only a few hundred yards away & the aerial activity is great to watch though not intrusive. The dog walk is fantastic, mowed to the same level as the site itself, so no mucky pooches returning to the caravan. The toilet is kept spotlessly clean & the CDP & bin /recycling shed is so well organised & clean that it makes doing the chores a pleasure. Situated centrally so Sleaford, Grantham & Newark are easily accessible by car, as well as the smaller charming, surrounding villages. The Cranwell Aviation Heritage Museum is on site & well worth a visit. The hosts, Paula & Mark are very friendly & helpful, with nothing being too much trouble. They provide an extremely detailed booklet showing walking trails, places of interest to visit & amenities for shopping, eating out etc. We can't wait to visit again.

Disliked: Distance from home is 330 miles!!!

From the manager: Such kind words, thank you, it was a pleasure having you to stay.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: A very well run site, Paula the site owner was most welcoming on my arrival. Having just endured an over four hour tow from North Yorkshire, with long delays, major traffic problems on the A 1, then another major hold up on the Notts/Lincs border due to a water main issue, hundreds of vehicles, me included....were queing for almost 45 minutes on the dreaded A 17! Rest assured, on arrival, I was very glad to see a well mown lawn and very clean basic facilities. 16amp hook ups, the little shed with books and many other items for sale to raise funds for the Air Ambulance.

Disliked: Some distant traffic noise at times.

Local attractions

If you’ve picked this place mainly for its aviation element, why stop there? Turn your holiday into a themed break by heading out to see more flying machines and memorabilia at Newark Air Museum (20 minutes’ drive), playing with the interactive displays at International Bomber Command Centre (25 minutes) and taking a day to follow the North Kesteven Airfield Trail around the area’s many current and former air bases. Time for a break from the sky-based stuff? Skip into Sleaford (10 minutes’ drive) to visit the free museum, see the Cogglesford Watermill in action and follow the themed trails to uncover the town’s arty and historic corners. Or maybe you’d rather stick to things that move at ground level? If so, the Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum (half an hour) is a good place to start. You might also spot rather smaller things scuttling about on a walk at Hartsholme Country Park (35 minutes) or the Natural World Centre (35 minutes), which also has outdoor and indoor wildlife-themed adventure playgrounds for the kids.
