Information

Location

The Barn stands in the heart of the village of Scopwick which is about 8 miles north of Sleaford and 11 miles south of Lincoln. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it is recorded as having a church and 6 mills, with the Old English name ‘Scapeuic’ meaning sheep farm. Now, it is a small rural community with Scopwick Holy Cross Church whose cemetery has 50 Commonwealth War Graves, a village hall, and a highly rated pub, The Royal Oak, serving food.

Nearby Metheringham offers a wide range of facilities including several village stores and pubs/restaurants, a fish and chip shop, a takeaway, a children’s nursery, a vets’ practice and a doctors’ surgery. The village railway station connects directly with Lincoln, Sleaford and Peterborough.

Around a 15 minute drive, is the characterful inland resort of Woodhall Spa famous for The National Golf Centre with its Hotchkin heathland course, one of the top in the world. The town also offers a wonderful selection of independent shops, tea rooms, restaurants as well as the unique Kinema in the Woods and the superb outdoor heated swimming pool at Jubilee Park. The Petwood Hotel is steeped in British history, once home to the legendary 617 ‘Dambusters’ squadron, and provides award-winning food, afternoon tea and special events surrounded by acres of beautifully landscaped gardens.

The historic and vibrant Cathedral City of Lincoln provides a comprehensive range of shopping, dining, and cultural amenities. The two most notable attractions are the spectacular 11th century Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle at the heart of the city’s cultural Cathedral Quarter. The city has two universities, and the rich aviation history of Lincolnshire can be explored further at the International Bomber Command Visitor Centre.
