Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park

Lincolnshire County Council's Sustainable Communities Department and partners are seeking views on a proposal to develop a country park on Lincolnshire's coast.

We are seeking to provide high quality facilities for visitors and better protection for wildlife, by creating enhanced, extensive and interconnected nature reserves and wildlife areas.  This will be at the heart of a venue to attract visitors and residents in every season and provide the area with accessible, natural green space for people to enjoy.

The proposed park is earmarked for an area between Sandilands and Chapel St. Leonards, covering approximately eight kilometres of coastline and up to 35 square kilometres of coastal hinterland.

It is hoped that the area can be developed over the next five to ten years and then ongoing beyond that.  Among potential developments are a visitor or heritage centre, networked observatories, interpretation points and improved parking and recreational facilities.
