Set in the beautiful, historic village of Dunholme, close to the village green and surrounded by open farmland, with the magnificent landscapes of the Lincolnshire Wolds to the east, this charming and prestigious development offers a rare opportunity to put down roots in a mature, lively community with excellent local schools and amenities.

Outdoor activities

Located amongst rolling farmland stretching away for miles, Falcon Heath is a collection of new homes which offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring the picturesque villages, such as Willoughby and Tealby, that pepper the area. To the east, the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, presents a wealth of riverside paths and upland landscapes with breathtaking views and a fascinating diversity of wildlife habitats. And to the south-west, on the edge of the city of Lincoln, Hartsholme Country Park comprises over 40 hectares of woodlands, grasslands and Victorian formal gardens. The Park includes a large reservoir with facilities for fishing, a range of nature trails exploring varied habitats (including some rare and endangered species), a visitor centre, and play and picnic areas.Hartsholme Country Park
