Friskney Tourist Information

Friskney, one of the largest villages in the UK yet with a very small but very friendly population, probably gained most of its fame from the Farmer and His Friends riske calendar raising funds for the Tsunami appeal in 2005.

Situated within Friskney are two very different but equally beautifull public houses, The Anchor; your traditional country pub with welcoming publican Mick and his wife ready to serve you with a range of drinks and pub grub, The Anchor is reknowned throughout Lincolnshire for their entertainment covering everthing for the local singers to rock weekends where 100 fund raising bikers turn up for the weekend in order to raise valuable funds for a local charity. Then you have the Barley Mow, situated on the A52 in Friskney the Barley is famous for its excellent cuisine with a unique range of top quality meals, you do need to book early as every night is fully seated.

Also situated in Friskney is their newest yet most visited attraction, The National Parrot Sanctuary, somewhere you can spend a full day visiting the centre where you can witness the team of dedicated staff tending to over 1000 rescued parrots, spread over 18 acres the centre is the largest in the UK and well worth a visit.

In the centre of Friskney you come across the Village Hall and Local shop again operated by welcoming owners Tim and Michelle who make everyone feel at home no matter what time of day it is.

Have a walk around Decoy woods where you can lose yourself for a few hours in a peacefull woodland walk which is steaped in history from early day bird catchers.

All in all Friskney is an old traditional village with a modern outlook and is slowly growing to accommodate more settlers.
