Claythorpe Watermill & Wildfowl Gardens
Recommended by
Overview
Tranquil and beautiful, this watermill is a small, family-run attraction at the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Sit by the river, soak up some history, have a fabulous lunch, or let the kids off the leash in the small play area. The unusual collections of watefowl walks free by the water, and the owls will give you a stare you won't forget. Meet the otters, marmosets, pygmy goats and wallabies and have fun feeding the birds or the fish.

About the area
Much of the fenland around the Wash has been drained of its marshes and reclaimed as highly productive farmland. Further north, the coastline, with its sandy beaches, has been developed to accommodate the holiday industry, with caravans, campsites and the usual seaside paraphernalia.
