Woodhall Spa

We spent 4 days with Mike and Margaret on the C&CC site at Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire. South Lincolnshire has many RAF historical connections and we took full advantage of the location to see the memorial flight base at Coningsby, Dam Buster bar at Petwood and the WW2 museum at Thorpe Hall. We had a look around Woodhall, after speaking to a very knowledgeable lady in the visitor centre. The original Spa building is all boarded up now and is for sale if anyone wants to re-open an old spa!

We also visited the NT property at Tattershall Castle and the nearby church. We had very mixed weather with some sun between heavy showers and thunder. But not as bad as the forecast and we even managed a BBQ on our first night.

On our way home we stopped with Mike and Margaret and went to the Battle Proms at Burghley House. Apart from a good soaking in a heavy shower half way through the evening it was a most enjoyable concert with 193 cannons and fireworks to augment the orchestral renditions of the 1812 and the Battle Symphony.
