WOODHALL SPA Community Website

Woodhall Spa was conceived as a Spa resort and it still largely depends on visitors for its prosperity today. These range from day trippers from across the county and region, travelling by car or in organised coach parties, to golfers, conference delegates and those attending many of the social functions at the hotels and pubs or visiting on short break holidays. From here you can link to pages with information on places of general interest in the village and surrounding area such as Jubilee Park, the Kinema in the Woods, Cottage Museum, Kirkstead Abbey, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and Tattershall Castle. Here is a brief summary.

Jubilee Park is a very popular destination for locals and visitors alike, especially in the summer months when the heated outdoor swimming and paddling pools are open. Other park amenities and attractions include a camping and caravanning site, children's playground, ball games and picnic area, bowling, croquet, cricket, putting, tennis, a cafe and cycle hire. The 2007 brochure can now be downloaded from this website.

The Kinema in the Woods, known as the 'The Flicks in the Sticks' during the Second World War, was converted from a cricket pavilion in 1922 by Captain Allport. Today with its unique back projection, and the opening of a second screen in 1994, you can catch all the latest movies, as well as some timely classics.

Once the home of Johnny Wield (bathchair proprietor and well known photographer in the Spas heyday), the Cottage Museum and Tourist Information Centre can be found just off The Broadway. With its excellent display of local photographs and memorabilia reflecting the history of the town, it is a must for visitors.

Woodhall Spa is surrounded by a network of relatively quiet on and off road routes ideally suited for family rides. This network has recently been enhanced by the addition of an off-road route based on the disused railway line between Boston and Lincoln and runs alongside the River Witham. The route is known as the 'Water Rail Way' and the final section will open in 2007.
