[edit] Access and Facilities

The site is close to Boston Lincs and has a good sized car park.

A long footpath (1km?) runs from the carpark to the sea bank, enclosed by a thick hawthorn hedge and a bank. This allows visitors to gain access to the Lagoon hide and the sea bank without disturbing any of the wild life.

You can circumnavgate the lagoon via the seabank footpath. On a clear day a top the bank provides very good views of the Wash, and if your into the noiser flying things then the f15 and usual brit stuff using the ranges can be seen [mostly weekdays only!]

The hide is your standard unit with one disable access viewing point. It situated mid way up the lagoon, which at high tides offers views second to none.

There's a couple of nice pubs and a campsite within a couple or three miles.
