Lincolnshire Heritage & The Dambusters

Sunday

En-route to our hotel we visit the historic city of Lincoln, whose cathedral towers majestically overlook the city and its many other historic attractions including a Norman castle and charming medieval and Georgian houses. From here we continue to our hotel for our 4-night stay.

Monday

In the morning, we travel to the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Museum, home to one of only three remaining Avro Lancaster bombers. We then travel onto We'll Meet Again Museum. There are Homefront exhibits, including a typical 'shop' counter of the period. Elsewhere there are Women's Land Army artefacts, nurse's uniforms, children's toys, equipment used in the home at that time from mangles to mincers, 1940's fashions and items that some visitors will see and say, "I remember those"! There is also an Anderson Shelter and blitz experience.

Tuesday

Tuesday After breakfast we visit the popular Lincolnshire coastal resort of Cleethorpes. Cleethorpes has something for everyone, where else do you have award-winning beaches, areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and first-class visitor attractions.

Wednesday

Today, our 'Aviation Heritage' theme continues today with a visit to the Bomber Command Centre - a world class facility that serves as a point of recognition and remembrance for Bomber Command. In the afternoon we continue to the delightful village of Woodhall Spa with its Dambuster's connections and its unique Kinema in the Woods.

Thursday

Departing our hotel after breakfast we commence our journey homeward, returning during the early afternoon.
