Nature Reserves & Green Spaces

The historic port town of Boston is surrounded by beautiful parks and nature reserves, that make it easy to embrace the fresh air and experience Lincolnshire’s stunning nature without travelling too far from the town.

Boston is the only town in the UK with 8 country parks within 5 miles of the town centre so no matter what type of outdoor adventure you’re after, you’ll likely find just what you need only a short ride from the town.

From bird watching at Frampton Marsh, to exploring the beautifully carved wooden statues of Joseph Banks Country Park, there are plenty of stunning green spaces to enjoy. Boston Woods Trust has been busy improving the green spaces on offer across the town and thanks to their efforts, Boston is now one of the best places to enjoy woodland walks and green spaces.
