What Should I Do With Two Days In Gainsborough?

If you have 2 days to spend in Gainsborough, here are some suggestions:

  • Visit Gainsborough Old Hall - a stunning medieval manor house that dates back to the 15th century. You can take a guided tour of the hall and its gardens, which takes around 1-2 hours.
  • Explore the River Trent - Gainsborough is situated on the banks of the River Trent, so why not take a walk or cycle along its towpaths? You can also try fishing or take a boat trip along the river.
  • Check out the Gainsborough Heritage Centre - this museum tells the story of Gainsborough's history from the Roman era to the present day. Allow around 2-3 hours to explore the exhibits.
  • Go for a stroll in the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Garden - this lovely park is located right in the heart of Gainsborough. Take a picnic or relax on one of the benches and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
  • Visit the Gainsborough Golf Club - if you're a golfer, this is the perfect place to spend a few hours. This 18-hole course offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.

For accommodation, there are a few options in Gainsborough. The White Hart Hotel is a popular choice, with comfortable rooms and an on-site restaurant. The Black Swan Guest House is another good option, offering cosy rooms in a peaceful location. If you prefer self-catering accommodation, check out the Riverside Holiday Cottage, which is situated on the banks of the River Trent.
