St Michael's Church, Buslingthorpe

The church sits quietly in the Lincolnshire countryside near Market Rasen, unremarkable from the road until you actually step inside. St Michael's is one of those places that rewards the curious - a proper medieval church with enough character to make the detour worthwhile, especially if you're staying at one of the nearby touring parks.

What you're looking at is a 12th-century building with later additions, the sort of place where you can spot the joins in the stonework and imagine centuries of villagers filing through the same doorway. The interior is straightforward rather than grand - no soaring arches or elaborate tombs - but that's rather the point. This is a working church, not a museum, and it feels lived-in.

It's the kind of stop that appeals to history-minded walkers and anyone interested in vernacular architecture rather than grand cathedrals. You won't need more than twenty minutes unless you're doing brass rubbings or doing serious historical research. Free to visit, as far as I can tell, though it's worth checking opening hours before you make the journey.

If you're based at Lindsey Trail Touring Park, Into the Wild Glamping, or Lincolnshire Lanes Camp nearby, this makes an easy afternoon excursion into the surrounding villages. Pair it with a walk across the Lincolnshire Wolds rather than treating it as a standalone attraction. It's worthwhile if you're in the area, but not the sort of thing you'd plan a trip around.
