  • We wanted to get to this park some time ago and finally we made it and were not disappointed.
    Dave also claims the Boston Stump, the amazing St. Botolph's Church in the market town of Boston.
    We hope you enjoy the video and please see the link to Delph Bank's website it's a real hidden gem and now we know where it is, we will certainly be back.

    Hello Dave and Helen, ooh it’s a lovely campsite isn’t it. We have visited there. Have they opened a spa as yet as the owner told us that would be his next project? Nice location for visiting other places. Wow you did so well on climbing the tower, I don’t think we would be able to do it these days, the views were amazing ,the church is beautiful, nice that there is a cafe inside. Lovely video x Julie and Tony x

      @HelenandDave  4 місяці тому +2

      Hi Julie & Tony, hope you’re both well. Yes, a great little site with such lovely facilities. That climb was hard work but I’m glad I did it (and made it in one piece 😂). No mention of a spa and nothing in situ as yet though. Thanks and best wishes, Helen & Dave 👍

    What a lovely site and not too far to travel either. The Austrian lager is certainly tempting, maybe you ought to convince them to stock Ghost Ship and it would be even more perfect 😂 so glad you got a view from the church tower after all that effort and a good job it was one o’clock and not twelve when the bells tolled otherwise you might now be deaf 😬. Definitely a site to add to our list. Best wishes H&M. 😊

    Great video. Well done on your climb up Boston Stump. It’s a beautiful church, my daughter got married there. Boston Wednesday market used to be a very big affair with coaches coming from miles away, the market place was full of stalls and a great atmosphere. As with so many towns, it’s no longer the bustling market town it used to be which is so sad really. The campsite looks great 😊

    It’s been many years since I’ve been over to Boston my brother used to live in Leicestershire and we went for a day out over there and to holbeach did you know Geoff Capes was from Holbeach! Great video in the Boston stump and what a view I know you can see it from miles around it was well worth the climb!
    Have you been to spalding they used to have an amazing flower festival in the spring with carnival floats decorated in flowers it’s a great county and underrated in what it has to offer all the best to you both Daniel

I don’t have a head for heights but Gail has always been determined we go up Boston Stump. Bet you’re glad it was only 1 o’ clock with the chimes 😂. Dave, you’re unfit 😂. Seriously though it was a climb and a half. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀.

    Great info about the station, as you know trains are my thing.

    Hello Helen and Dave,
    We moved to Boston from Suffolk a few years ago. St Botolph’s, known locally as The Stump which in its current form was built in 1309 replacing a previous church on the same site. The tower was not finally completed until 1510 at 272 feet is on of the tallest parish churches in the UK.
    The Windmill you spotted is the Maud Foster Mill situated next to the Maud Foster River or Drain as it’s locally called. It was built to take water away from the Farmland and at low tide is emptied out into the Haven River when full where it travels out to the wash. The Mill still produces excellent flour and is well worth a visit next time you are in the vicinity.
    You certainly found a decent site there in Holbeach. We are off to the Dales Sunday slightly less flat than Lincolnshire 😂

    • @HelenandDave
      @HelenandDave  4 місяці тому +1

    Try Fydell House in South Street in Boston open Monday to Friday 10-4 on Wednesdays their cafe is open. Free to enter. Georgian House. Great garden. Lots of different art exhibitions. Right next door is The Guildhall which is also free to enter and is a museum. The Windmill is The Maud Foster windmill which is open Wednesdays & Saturdays and a few pounds to see the working mill which is fascinating and to purchase some great flour. Sessions House was the old court and is still there and is often used to film old courts for to dramas.
