What do you do if you have had enough of the many funfair type rides or even the bustling crowds that are always there in the height of the caravanning season?

Below is a list with brief descriptions of other places that a family could visit in and around the area that are not seaside orientated and some worth a visit if the Skegness weather is not brilliant. None of the below are recommended by ourselves.

Church Farm Museum – Skegness 

This is one where all parents should take the children and say “this is what it was like when l was young” yes, for those of us that can remember that water from the pail or tap was cold and had to be boiled to get it hot, this is worth a visit just to show them what they missed. An authentic 1900 period farm house with furniture the way it was then, as if they had just moved out, plus out buildings, such as the threshing shed needs a visit. Refreshment for all the family catered for, including home make bread.   Visit their web site www.aboutbritain.com/ChurchFarmMuseum.htm for opening times.

Take the time to visit this attraction, the site is a 1940`s Bomber Airfield that has, amongst other original pieces for that period, an Avro Lancaster Bomber NX611 called `Just Jane`, book to take a “taxi ride” on the airfield in this Lancaster, its got to be worth the wait.
