Park Facilities at Woodthorpe Leisure Park

Woodthorpe Leisure Park has a strong outdoor focus, with fishing and golf forming two of the main reasons to stay here. Families also have children's play areas and woodland walks, while Woody's Restaurant & Bar provides food and drinks throughout the day and evening.

Fishing at Woodthorpe Leisure Park

Fishing is one of Woodthorpe's standout facilities. The park has stocked coarse fishing lakes containing carp, tench, roach, rudd, perch and orfe, giving anglers a good variety of species to target during their stay.

Fishing is available to holiday guests using daily or weekly permits, making it easy to build several sessions into a longer break. The lakes suit both regular coarse anglers and visitors who simply want to spend a few relaxed hours fishing while on holiday.

Children can also fish when accompanied by an adult, making it a useful family activity as well as a reason for dedicated anglers to choose the park. Guests need a valid Environment Agency fishing licence and should check the current park rules before fishing.

For anyone specifically looking for a Lincolnshire holiday park with fishing on site, Woodthorpe is particularly appealing because the lakes sit within the park itself rather than requiring a separate drive to a nearby fishery.

Golf at Woodthorpe Leisure Park

Woodthorpe also has its own 18 hole golf course, providing a substantial on park activity for guests who want to play during their holiday.

The course operates on a pay and play basis, so visitors do not need to be members to take part. This makes it suitable for regular golfers as well as holidaymakers who want to fit in a round while staying on the park.

A 25 bay driving range gives golfers somewhere to practise their swing or warm up before playing the course. It also provides an easier introduction for beginners who may not want to commit to a full round.

Having both the golf course and driving range on site makes Woodthorpe particularly suitable for golf breaks, especially for couples, families or groups where not everyone wants to spend the whole holiday at the coast.

Children's Facilities and Outdoor Space

Younger guests have outdoor play areas within the park, while the woodland and open countryside provide space for walking and relaxed days outdoors.

The park's rural setting also works well for families who want a quieter base between trips to Mablethorpe, Sutton on Sea and other parts of the Lincolnshire coast.

Food and Drink

Woody's Restaurant & Bar serves meals, drinks and daily specials, giving guests somewhere to eat without leaving the park. Outdoor seating is available in warmer weather and selected quiz nights, games and events take place during the year.
