Travel in style

It doesn’t get more exciting than darting across an original Forties airfield, strapped into a real-life Lancaster bomber – but that’s exactly how you can get around in the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, where you’ll also see a real bouncing bomb. Just a short trip over to RAF Scampton you’ll find the current home of the Red Arrows (tours must be pre-booked). But it’s not just about the planes. Step on board the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway for possibly the most charming way to tour the area as it steams through rolling countryside towards the seaside and back.
