Sutton Bridge 2.7 miles.
The Sir Peter Scott Lighthouse is a unique, converted lighthouse just outside Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire, surrounded by and with elevated views across the river and miles of open countryside. IT'S ALSO THE MOST IMPORTANT WETLAND SITE IN THE UK, THE BEST TIME TO VIEW MIGRATING WILD GEESE IN THE AREA IS DURING THE WINTER MONTHS FROM NOVEMBER THROUGH TO THE END OF FEBRUARY. The former home of Sir Peter Scott, a British conservationist and painter, the lighthouse was built in 1830 and is still used today to help ships navigate through the tidal channels; it's a wonderful setting full of character and history for friends, families, artists, poets, and wildlife lovers, the property has its own website giving a full insight into this unique property. Approached by main and then country roads, this gated property rests along the River Nene leading out to The Wash, with grounds of over half an acre, and private parking for four cars.
Kick off your boots in the large entrance hall with hanging space for coats before locating the kitchen; well-equipped for rustling up hearty meals, the space also has a snug area with patio doors leading out to the enclosed garden, perfect to let the outside in on summer evenings! A quirky, circular room, the dining room offers seating for all guests to tuck in and plan your holiday agenda.
Gather in the spacious sitting room/studio, a bright and airy space with the original lighthouse wall and a bay window framing your beautiful surroundings; admire the original sketch on the wall by Peter Scott, settle into the sofa with a good book by the crackling woodburner, or why not set up with your own sketchbook and draw the landscape? Completing the ground floor is a large bathroom and two bedrooms, one double with through access to a twin, and a Narnia-style door leading to a large game’s room/studio with a cloakroom and kitchenette; sure to be the social hub of your holiday with fabulous, uninterrupted views! The lower ground floor hosts a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, whilst climbing up the winding staircase takes you to a twin room; once Peter Scott’s lounge.
Climb up again to another single room where Peter Scott once slept before he added the buildings to the side.
At the very top of the lighthouse sits the light gallery where the lantern is situated; the views only get better the higher you climb with The Sir Peter Scott Lighthouse’s sister lighthouse sitting just across the way. Those seeking the great outdoors have a private wildlife reserve, right on their doorstep with two large ponds and lower lawns that house a collection of some of the rarest geese in the world and which are attended to every day. If you can tear yourself away, there are plenty of things to do in this excellent location; embark on a riverside walk, with the Sir Peter Scott Walk starting from just outside the front gate and giving an easy 10 mile walk and the ferry ride into King’s Lynn.
Just over half a mile takes you to the end of the river and Wash Viewpoint with basking seals on the other side of the river at most low tides and a popular bird watching location.
Venture into Sutton Bridge for traditional pubs and small supermarkets, or Long Sutton just a bit further.
The scenic port town of King's Lynn is also nearby with plenty of historic sites; catch a performance at Shakespeare's Barn Guildhall King's Lynn, visit the Red Mount Chapel and marvel at the town's majestic minister.
National Trust properties such as the Royal estate of Sandringham, and Houghton Hall with its vast gardens, are within easy reach.
The lighthouse occupies a commanding position on the Wash National Nature Reserve.
This is the biggest reserve in England, covering over 8880 ha. It’s also the most important wetland site in the UK, with its vast mudflats and huge expanse of saltmarsh supporting thousands of birds all year round.
Other important wildfowl viewing points at Snettisham, Gibralter Point, Welney and Freiston Shore.
Best time for thousands of migrating wild geese in the area is during the winter from November to the end of February.
Vast sandy beaches can be found at Gibraltar Point and Hunstanton.
There is super easy access to wonderful historic market towns and cities such as Peterborough, Ely, Cambridge, Norwich and Wisbech, all of them waterside! If you're looking for a holiday home surrounded by countryside, wildlife, and unique character, secure your stay at The Sir Peter Scott Lighthouse.
