Local Attractions in Lincolnshire
Our own picturesque village of Burton-Upon-Stather was voted the 2005 winner of the Calor Gas Small Village of the year for North Lincolnshire. You can often visit the gardens that helped win this award during our summer festival’s open Garden Day. Cycle Route Packs available at reception
Alkborough is just a 2½ mile walk away. Enjoy breathtaking views on the Burton hills following the river Trent to this delightful village or visit the Medieval Turf Maze. The views across the confluence of the rivers Trent, Ouse and Humber are spectacular. On a clear day you can see the towers of York Minster.
Normanby Hall Country Park is under 2 miles away. This elegant Regency Hall is set in 300 acres of beautiful parkland, gardens and pleasure grounds. Discover Lincolnshire’s rich rural heritage in the fascinating Farm Museum or take a relaxing walk through the woodland or deer park where herds of red and fallow deer peacefully graze.
Other attractions within ½ hour drive include the Humber Bridge, 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, Waters’ Edge Country Park, Ropewalk Contemporary Art & Craft, and Steam Railtours.
Whilst experience has shown us that the majority of our visitors come to Brookside to either unwind, “get away from it all” or just to walk the dog, there are plenty of activities for the more energetically inclined. Whether your passion is for cycling, walking, bird watching, fishing, golf, tennis, sight seeing or shopping, there is plenty to keep you occupied.
During the summer you can find shows, country fairs and other events across the county. To find out more about events in North Lincolnshire contact:
