Introduction

Situated on the East Coast of England, close to the resort of Skegness and the beauty of the Lincolnshire Wolds; Virley House Country Park is ideal for a holiday.

Virley House is located in the village of Croft, accessed from A52 between Skegness and Wainfleet. We cater for seasonal touring caravans and statics. The park is located on predominantly flat ground and is set in 5 acres of lawned grass with a fishing lake of half an acre.
