Discover Dunholme

Dunholme offers several points of interest for a stay: the architecture of the Church of St Chad, the “Dunholme, Nettleham & Scothern Walk” walking route, a nature reserve and the history of RAF Dunholme Lodge. The connection between the church and the walk is particularly tangible, as the route starts at St Chad’s Church. Nature and modern history offer further points of interest that appeal to different interests when planning a trip.

Church, walking route and open countryside

The Church of St Chad in Dunholme is designated a Grade I listed building and is essentially an Early English-style church. This style designation gives the building a specific architectural classification. Together, the designation and architecture make the church appealing to travellers who enjoy discovering culture at a named location. It is also the starting point of the “Dunholme, Nettleham & Scothern Walk” walking route, clearly linking the building with the idea of a walk.

The route is mostly flat and has no livestock gates. These details give you a concrete sense of the route and help you compare the walk with your own plans for the day. The route also offers the opportunity to experience the open farmland north of Lincoln. There, the Limestone Heath meets the Lincoln Clay Vale. This draws attention not only to the starting point in Dunholme, but also to the wider landscape covered by the route.

Nature and modern history

Ashing Lane Nature Reserve covers 80 acres and includes Pickering’s Meadow. The reserve provides a distinct focus on nature alongside the walk and the church architecture. When deciding what interests you most on your trip, you can distinguish between focusing on a route through the countryside and making a nature reserve the main theme.

RAF Dunholme Lodge offers a different perspective: the former military airfield dates from the Second World War and was later reused as a Bloodhound missile site during the Cold War. The transition from airfield to missile site thus spans two distinct periods in the history of the site. For travellers interested in military history, this location offers a clear historical focus.

Plan your stay around your interests

When choosing a holiday rental in Dunholme, it can help to first decide what kind of stay you want. Would you like to focus on a walk through the open farmland, or are you more interested in architectural history, nature or modern history? This lets you compare the different themes without turning them into a fixed itinerary. If you are travelling with family, you can decide together which of these different interests matters most. You can then tailor your holiday rental search to your own plans and assess whether a particular accommodation’s location and amenities suit your travel needs.
