5 days in Skegness

Five days on the Lincolnshire coast, and this route makes the most of both the seafront and the quiet inland miles behind it. You'll start gently — Escape 2 Play and Baldocks Mill sit just 0.7 miles apart, and both state disabled access — before two bigger driving days out to The House of Correction, Tattershall Castle and the 52.6-mile run to North Ings Farm Museum.

Then the trip swings back to the sea: Fantasy Island, Hardys Animal Farm 1.4 miles from lunch, The Seal Sanctuary and Mablethorpe Funfair. Lunches are deliberately safe bets — The White Horse, the Admiral Benbow and Sea Chef all hold a 5/5 food hygiene rating. For bases, Seacroft Lodge sleeps 10 and sits 0.9 miles from Skegness station, the nearest station for rail arrivals, while The Admirals and Summer House put you about a mile from Sutton-on-Sea beach, rated Excellent for bathing water by the Environment Agency.
