About Woodhall Spa

The unique character of Woodhall Spa is deeply intertwined with its Victorian spa heritage and the surrounding gentle Lincolnshire Wolds landscape. It lies 9.2 km south-west of Horncastle (from Horncastle: bearing 227°T, OS grid TF 194 631), and is situated east-north-east of Martin Dales village. Historically, Woodhall Spa owes its existence to the discovery of iron-rich mineral springs in the mid-19th century, which quickly transformed it into a fashionable health resort. The local economy, while still benefiting from tourism, is also supported by agriculture, reflecting the broader rural character of East Lindsey. Woodhall Spa retains many of its elegant Victorian architectural features, most notably the iconic Petwood House, which served as a headquarters for the RAF’s 617 ‘Dambusters’ Squadron during World War II, a significant historical connection that resonates strongly. The town’s cultural appeal is further enhanced by its tranquil atmosphere and the presence of the Kinema in the Woods, one of the country's last surviving rural cinemas, offering a charming glimpse into a bygone era. While not a hub for major sporting clubs, Woodhall Spa enjoys a vibrant local events calendar, often celebrating its heritage and community spirit.
