Cleethorpes Country Park is a local gem in Humberston, serving as a vital green lung for the Northeast Lincolnshire coast. Established on former agricultural land, the park features a large central lake that is a haven for local wildlife and waterfowl, providing a scenic backdrop for every mile. The area is steeped in maritime history, with the nearby coastline once serving as a strategic point for fishing and trade. Running here feels like a hidden retreat; while the famous Cleethorpes Promenade is just a short distance away, the Country Park offers a much quieter, more rhythmic experience favored by the local running community and the weekly parkrun enthusiasts.
