Planned Road closures:
- Major road resurfacing will be taking place on Dickon Hill Road in June 2025 for approx 15 days throughout the day and night. Diversions or delays will be in place so please check before traveling. This will make a huge positive difference to your future visits 🙂
- To check for future road closures, please check the Lincolnshire County Council website
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.

The Ivanvale Nature Reserve is a wonderful conservation project that has been created by the charity as an added feature for visitors.

The trees are situated around a fabulous lake, where all manner of birds are arriving and making it their home annually.
