Need Transport?
Here’s a couple of alternative options, if you’re unable to get to us in a car:
Call Connect is a local mini bus service that picks up from Skegness train station and will bring you to us and back again for the same price as a bus fare. They operate from Monday – Saturday and must be booked in advance by calling 0345 234 3344
1st Choice Cabs is our recommended taxi company if you’re coming by train and need a taxi to us from Wainfleet, Skegness or Boston. Call them on 01754 456456
The local Lincs Bus service is available, but does not drop off directly at or near the Park unfortunately. Therefore, the nearest stop from this service is Friskney village centre, with a two mile (approx) walk to the Park from there.

Ivanvale Nature Reserve
The Ivanvale Nature Reserve is a wonderful conservation project that has been created by the charity as an added feature for visitors. Situated in 11 acres of Lincolnshire countryside, we have planted over 8,000 trees of many indigenous species to encourage as much wildlife as possible. The trees are situated around a fabulous lake, where all manner of birds are arriving and making it their home annually.
