New guide to local attractions

A new ‘Explore South Kesteven’ guide to attractions across the district has been produced by the Discover South Kesteven team at InvestSK.

The handy size folding leaflet lists 28 attractions from castles to carriage rides and antiques to alpacas, with an easy to follow map showing locations.

It lists attractions large and small, including gardens, heritage sites, stately homes, crafts, antiques and niche shopping, encouraging a visit to the district’s newly launched web site to find out more –  www.discoversouthkesteven.com

For a breath of fresh air, the guide lists outdoor adventures including carriage rides, narrowboat trips, sculpture trails and quad biking.

Green spaces are not forgotten, encouraging visits to Bourne Woods, Temple and Twyford Woods as former WWll air bases and the parkland walking offered by Belton House, Grimsthorpe Castle and Burghley

Andrew Norman, Head of Visitor Economy at InvestSK, South Kesteven District Council’s growth and regeneration company, said: “Our aim with this leaflet is to gather together and showcase the amazing variety of things there is to see and do in South Kesteven.

“We have a district that is unbelievably rich in attractions, and we wanted to present a collection as attractive to those who live here as those who are visiting from further afield. So many of us simply do not appreciate what’s on the doorstep.”

Leaflets are available from Grantham and Stamford Arts Centres, Wyndham Park visitor centre, Downtown Garden Centre first floor visitor information point and Market Deeping Library.
