Haltham Hill

Rolling moorland stretches out from this modest summit near Kirkby on Bain, offering proper walking country without the crowds you'd find in the Peak District or Yorkshire Dales. Haltham Hill isn't dramatic - we're talking gentle slopes and wide views rather than craggy drama - but that's exactly its appeal.

Families with younger children will find the terrain manageable, though older kids might want more adventure. The real joy here is the sense of space and the far-reaching views across Lincolnshire's surprisingly varied landscape. On clear days you can see for miles across the Wolds.

Walkers will appreciate having proper footpaths without needing to navigate tourist hordes. It's free to explore (naturally) and you could easily spend a couple of hours up here, longer if you're combining it with a longer ramble through the surrounding countryside.

Location-wise, you're well placed for a stay at one of the nearby holiday parks. Woodhall Spa Camping and Caravanning Club Site sits just over a mile away, while Bainland Lodge Retreats offers more upmarket accommodation if you prefer your creature comforts. The hill makes a decent morning's outing before heading back to your base - though don't expect mountain drama. This is gentle Lincolnshire countryside at its most honest.
