Many groups from within Lincolnshire and beyond enjoy visiting the Wolds, not only for the natural beauty of the area but also to learn from the many different aspects that help make the Wolds a special place. The Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service has had many requests over the years about where to take educational groups. In response to this we have produced a listing of sites that are available for groups to visit.

Groups that would benefit from this information may include:

* Schools and colleges
* Further and higher education establishments
* Workers' Educational Association (WEA) groups
* Special interest groups

Wildlife WATCH groups

Wildlife Watch is the junior branch of The Wildlife Trusts, the UK's leading club for young environmentalists. There are local groups throughout Lincolnshire - contact the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust for further information - www.lincstrust.org.uk/watch 

Many of the sites open to groups are within the Countryside Stewardship Scheme Education Access Initiative and includes working farms in the Wolds. Click on the links below to view each site.

Leaders must contact each site prior to visiting, and a preliminary site visit is strongly recommended in order for group leaders to familiarise themselves with the site and its educational possibilities.

For groups wishing to study the Wolds and surrounding area over a number of days, accommodation is available at the following:
