Burton Waters Marina is situated off the Fossdyke, the oldest canal in England, thought to have been built around AD 120 by the Romans. When you leave the marina basin, turn left to take yourself down into the Brayford Pool and enjoy the sites of the historical City of Lincoln. Travel through the Brayford and continue under the Glory Hole, to take in the City centre.
In the opposite direction, enjoy the open countryside and cruise all the way to Torksey Lock, where the Fossdyke meets the tidal River Trent. Explore the various pubs along the way.
The marina has a selection of shops, restaurants, bars/pubs and David Lloyd gym. Self-drive day boats can be hired at the marina, from where you can explore the waterways into the heart of Lincoln or out into the stunning Lincolnshire countryside. The marina is also conveniently connected to the Sustrans cycle network, via a footpath, which takes you into the centre of Lincoln.
The historic City of Lincoln is only a short distance, with its abundance of bars, restaurants, shops and theatres. Away from the glitz, meander through the old town, where you will find cobbled streets, Lincoln Cathedral and medieval Lincoln Castle with its Victorian Prison. Further away you can explore the coastal villages and towns of the East Coast and go for a wander on the stunning endless beaches, or perhaps try your hand at mini golf at one of the coastal towns.
