If there’s one aspect of Lincoln that the team at King & Co hold dear; it’s our scenery. The architectural diversity of Lincoln can be traced back to its original development as a Roman town (Lindum Colonia), as well the future impact from the English Gothic period and the Georgian agricultural revolution.

With such a rich tapestry of historical evolution, it would be difficult for us to articulate the true trajectory in one blog! For those looking to relocate to our beautiful city you may be thinking where are the best outdoor escapes? Investigating natural localities is a key part of acclimatising to your new home, so without further ado, here are some of our favourite parks in Lincoln.

This stunning lakeside park offers an idyllic introduction to the rustic beauty of Lincoln. Formerly a private estate, Boultham Park now offers expansive ground for casual walking, picnics, play and sporting facility. True nature lovers will be in their element as the park remains home to a rich habitat of wildlife. Those acclimatised to bracing outdoor leisure will reap the rewards of Boultham’s Tennis and Bowling facilities.

Located a few miles south of the city centre, Hartsholme offers a delightful open space for inquisitive explorers and casual treading. The excellent camping ground also offers fervent travellers an opportunity to reap the true atmosphere of Lincoln’s countryside. Like Boulthan, there is a visitor centre with children’s play facilities and a rather quaint cafe for refreshments and light food. This green flag awarded park will delight and inspire in equal measures.

Arguably the cultural highlight of Lincoln’s natural open landmarks, the Arboretum is a Grade II listed park of alluring beauty. With extensive garden areas, lakeside views, fountains, a band stand and children’s play area – the Arboretum is a sight to behold. Originally crafted by Edward Miner between 1870 and 1872, the park underwent an ambitious restoration project in 2003 to help rejuvenate its ailing conditions. Miner remains one of the most revered gardeners of his era, an accolade that resonates greatly through this marvellous park.
