A new haven for nature on Lincolnshire's wild coast
Our gardens, parks, cafés, shops, countryside locations and many houses are open. You no longer need to pre-book at many places. Some still require booking ahead, so please check the property webpage before you travel.
The National Trust is embarking on an exciting new project to transform the former golf course at Sandilands to create a year-round nature experience for everyone.
Working in partnership with the Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park, we plan to create new habitat for a variety of wildlife, especially migrating birds such as black-tailed godwit, spotted redshank and spoonbills, along with breeding birds like snipe, lapwings and oystercatchers.
Our vision for this new reserve is to provide a space where everyone can enjoy the benefits of being in nature. We’re delighted to have this opportunity as the Lincolnshire coast is one of the most important stretches of the English coastline for wildlife as a stop-over on the ‘fly-way’ migration route. We plan to create an amazing place for people to immerse themselves in nature and really connect with the wonders the Lincolnshire coast has to offer.
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |

Sandilands is open daily, dawn to dusk, for local visitors
