Sightseeing

Burgh Le Marsh packs a surprising amount of interest into a small package. The town's standout feature is Dobson's Mill, a five-sailed windmill built in 1813 that still grinds flour today. You can tour this working mill (PE24 5JQ, open Wednesdays and weekends 12-4pm, April-October) and learn about traditional milling processes.

St Peter and St Paul's Church dates from the 14th century and contains fascinating medieval graffiti and a rare double-decker pulpit. The church is usually open daily for visitors between 9am-4pm.

The Burgh Le Marsh Heritage Centre (PE24 5DZ) houses local artefacts and tells the story of this ancient settlement. It scores 4.2/5 on Google Reviews, with visitors praising its informative displays.

Just 4 miles away, Skegness offers traditional seaside fun with its pier (4/5 on TripAdvisor), sandy beach and Fantasy Island theme park (4/5 on TripAdvisor). Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve (4.5/5 on TripAdvisor) is a 15-minute drive south and offers excellent birdwatching across its 1,000 acres of salt marsh, dunes and freshwater habitats.

Pet Friendly

Dogs will love a holiday in Burgh Le Marsh! Many cottages welcome pets, with secure gardens where they can play while you enjoy your hot tub. The surrounding countryside offers miles of walks across flat Lincolnshire landscapes.

The Windmill Restaurant in town (PE24 5JQ) allows dogs in its garden area, perfect for lunch after a morning walk. For beach-loving dogs, head to Gibraltar Point where dogs are welcome year-round on most sections (some restrictions apply during bird nesting season).

Anderby Creek (15 minutes drive) offers a quieter dog-friendly beach alternative to busy Skegness. The Vine Hotel in Skegness (PE25 3DB) welcomes dogs in its bar area and garden, serving good pub grub after a day of exploring.

I recommend bringing towels specifically for your dog - the flat Lincolnshire landscape can get muddy after rain! Most local vets offer emergency services, with Fenwold Veterinary Practice (PE24 4BB) being the closest option.
