A little about Windy Ridge
Hi and welcome
When I said a little about our campsite I lied, It's actually quite a lot about the site lol, so get your self a nice little drinky poos, a comfy seat and please read on until you lose the will to live.
Windy Ridge caravan site is situated at the very edge of the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds and just under Cleethorpes, on the outskirts of a small village called Tetney. We have all year round fishing available in our 2 on site fishing lakes, they're stocked with Carp, Tench, Bream, Roach, Rudd, Trout, we're also very close to the Louth canal, which is extremely good for Pike/Perch fishing and better still it's free fishing (when in season) on the canal by the Crown & Anchor pub.
We have a lot of very free range birds here which you are more than welcome to feed, there's loads of cheeky chickens & ducks of all size and colours, there's even a flock of nutty guinea fowl running around like lunatics (you may hear them squawking during the night if something disturbs them, like a fox or badger), and 3 tame Chinese geese which are really friendly and love brown bread.
In Tetney village (about 30 mins walk / 2 mins drive away) there's a local Spar supermarket which has most of lifes little essentials such as bread, wine & beer but if the wife's got there before you then you'll just find the bread (for Christs sake don't tell her I've put that in here), the Plough Pub (which doesn't do any food), there is also the Crown & Anchor Pub at Tetney Lock (pleasant walk / 2 mins drive) which does nice food. There are some very nice Chinese / Indian / pizza & kebab take aways that will all deliver to the site (please ask us for the menus), there are also some very nice fish & chip shops locally please ask and we'll point you in the direction of the best ones.
Our site is fairly secluded and perfect for those that just want to be out of the way and chill with nature or enjoy a few days fishing.
