I spent many a happy holiday at Chapel, when I was young, staying in my Grandfather's caravan at Sandfields. I have returned as an adult a number of times and taken my own children. Fabulous memories of walking on the beach, with the dog...
I'm trying to visit again this summer - is Sandfields still there??

Anyone reading this wondering should they come to Chapel, listen to this....I watched the Footie in the Vine yesterday and left my sunglasses on my seat. Only a cheap pair so was disappointed but not the end of the world. Found myself back there for lunch today at the Village Chippy (highly recommend) and my husband called in to ask if anyone had handed them in expecting a yeah right type of response and the bar man turned round with 3 pairs to choose from including mine!! Where else would that happen? Beautiful place - go there when the world is driving you crazy!! Sue from Worksop (Monday, June 28, 2010)
Love, love the place; people friendly; place great; just cant get enough of BRILLIANT CHAPEL, one day will live there .

I first came to CSL as a child with my family. We fell in love with it. In those days the clay banks was there with the old wooden sea walls. That was in the sixties and apart from that little has changed. That is what i love and why i still visit every year. i love to sit each morning on the beach with the sun shimmering over the sea. - My own heaven on earth.! A special place in my heart.

I have been coming to CSL for nearly 40 years and I love it. Sadly I had to sell my own caravan but I have hired one and am coming for a week in March. Can't wait, see you soon CSL!
Joanne from West yorkshire (Thursday, January 08, 2009 )
I used to go to CSL during summer with my parents and
brother years ago. Mum still goes to a friends caravan. She loves going
to the Sandfield club and playing bingo !! My daughter now 21 goes occasionally
too.Went back myself with my husband and new puppy in August - supposed
to stay a night at the Vine, ended up staying 4 days ! Very dog friendly
and to see the kids club they had set up at Benbow was really good. CSL
suits every age.
Karen from Ilkeston, Derbys (Saturday, October 27, 2007)
Well I love CSL too! I started going on family holidays back in 1992
when I was 13 & went there every year till I was 18. The locals were
lovely.. especially the lads! haha! Anyone know Adie Paulson? He was well
fit! My last holiday there was July 1998 when I also took my 11 month
old son! We stayed at Robin Hood caravan park & also the Sandfield
site.. oh the memories.. I'd love to go back again sometime but i'm skint
with having 2 extra mouths to feed now! Hurray for CSL!! :D

My Nan and Gan-Gan have a caravan in chappel st leonards me and my family
visit very often. I think chappel st leonards is a brillant place to get
away from busy Nottingham. When i go to Chappel st leonards im trusted
to walk to the co-op on my own i also feel very safe. I love the Chappel
Carnival, ive come 2nd in the sand building comp, and i love sitting on
the pavement watching all the floats go by. Ive made loads of new friends,
and one who i keep in touch with. I love chappel st leonards its a really
spiecal village that will stay alive with the buzz of people for many
years more. Thanks

Hi,Ive been coming to Chapel St Leonards for 25 years and still think
its a magical place to holiday.All my family love it and we return several
times a year.Why go abroad when Chapel has everything you could want especially
for kids?(apart from the occasional cloudy day!)No trip is complete without
a trip to Yabbas.We love it!!!
Lisa from Sheffield (Monday, August 07, 2006)
Chapel st Leonards is a small friendly village. The carnivals are a great
idea and entertaining. I have been staying at chapel for 2 weeks every
year for the past five years!

i wondered whether you could answer a question.
I've been told that a film was shot in and around Chapel (within the last
10 years) with lots of shots of the beach, beach huts etc, you dont happen
to know what it was called do you ?
thanks, peter. (Fri 07/04/2006)

Hi, I hope that you don't mind me Emailing you like this. I remember
fondly holidays at chapel St leonards. I am looking for a resident of
20years ago. Her name Christine Abbot
Nee Ratcliffe.Its a long shot but when I returned to England for a holiday
she was there then. I would appreciate it if you can help
Thanks Anne Clarke nee Holmes (Thu 23/03/2006)
My wife and I last visited CSL on4th March 2006..on a bright sunny but
COLD day. It's a great place to visit in the summer when the kids enjoy
the beach but it has it's own special charm in the winter too. We visit
several times a year ( driving the 60 miles from Newark)..and especially
enjoy visiting The Admiral Benbow on the sea front. ALWAYS a warm welcome
and a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by...the dog walkers..
and the intrepid people that insist paddling at the waters edge,even in
the nidst of winter ! Don't alter anything about the place at all.

Hello! My name is Kelly Rankin and I grew up in Chapel. I thought I'd
look it up on the net as my Dad is currently back in the U.K to visit
family etc and so now more than ever I'm thinking of home! I live in Adelaide,
on the south coast of Australia so pretty far away, but I just wanted
to say that it was so lovely to read what everyone wrote about Chapel.
I have great memories from there and it makes me feel happy to be able
to know something about my home village!! Thank you.
Kelly from Adelaide, Australia (Thursday, January 05, 2006)

hi there i am Kelly wallbanks i am 15. sorry if i have any spelling problems I think the web sight will be good with a page about robin hood and the big club, thankyou for your time love kel (Wed 07/12/2005)
Hi, I have been going to CSL now for about 13 years, and it just keeps
getting better. All my family love it! There is everything you need from
a holiday there. The beach is beautiful, You can always find a quiet place.
We like lots of life at night time,and that is easy to find. You have
the best of both worlds there.Quiet.....or lots of life. The kids have
lots to do, and so do the older folk.
My 21 year old daughter recently took her fiance there and he loved it
too. It caters for everyone.
The pubs are great. The shops are great. The restaurants are fantastic.
What more can I say! We will be there next year!!!!!
Carole and family from Nottingham (Wed 26/10/2005) I am looking for old
photos of Chapel taken around 1960, of Sea Road and
the road leading to the village from there.As a very small child I used
to come for holidays there and stayed in a bungalow on Sea Road that used
to be called "Sans Souci". So much has changed now and I'd love
to see photos taken of these roads around the time that I remember it
as such a very small child. Can anyone help?
Andrew Staton (Fri 07/10/2005)
i totally love Chapel St Leonards. It is a very good place. I've been
going there since i was 8 years old, i am now 16. I can't wait until next
summer because i am moving to Chapel with my boyfriend, who i met at Chapel.
I totally love it!!

new tattooist opening ;o)
Litha & Shane from Sheffield (Monday, September 12, 2005)
My family & I have just recently returned from a week’s holiday
staying at the Goodwin Touring Park in our new caravan. It was one of
the best holidays we have had as a family.
My daughter who is nearly 3 was treated like a princess by the staff at
the children’s funfair outside the club Tropicana they made hers
& our holiday they are so friendly. The lovely family that owned Goodwin
Touring Park made our stay so stress free, they site was fantastic. My
family & I will certainly recommend Chapel St Leonard for a good all
found family holiday destination.
The hard work of all the people working at the tourist / residential areas
of Chapel St Leonard really shows & may this continue.Mrs Lindsey
Mitchell from Lincolln (Mon 12/09/2005)
Used to go with my family to Chapel St. Leonards in the sixties. We had
a chalet at Kings Chalet Park. Many happy memories.
Must come and see what the place is like now!
Antony from Croydon (Sunday, September 11, 2005)
Hello. I am moving to Lincolnshire later in the year, to join my fiance
who lives in Lincoln. We're waiting for our new house to complete.
I have been looking for a piece of Lincolnshire coast to fall in love
with, and this weekend I had the good fortune to ‘discover’
Chapel Point beach. Perfect. Credit to you – it’s delightful!
I fell in love with the beach huts, and a chat with one of the owners
told me that they are in demand. I have put a notice in the local shop,
should one of the owners wish to contact me if they are thinking of selling.
I have also emailed various estate agents.
I am emailing in case you are locally based and know someone who is thinking
of selling. I am happy to pay a good price and promise that the hut will
have a good home and be well looked after.
I appreciate that the competition is tough for these huts. If I can 'throw
in' some professional skills for the village such as copy writing, press
releases etc., then I will.

hi there, i recently attended a service of baptism(14/08/05) in a little
church in your village.it was a rather uplifting and unusual service.as
i was not a member of the family,i did not know of which denomination
the church was.could you shed any light on this please?
yours sincerely, kane shelly. (Fri 19/08/2005)
The success of Chapel is due to the family owned sites and businesses
who have worked very hard to put it where it is today. Like the website,you
deserve all your support.

I went to CSL a couple of times back in 1987. The first time was with
my friend and his Mum and Dad. We passed the time sneaking the odd pint
in the pubs and appraising the local talent in the Slots.
Met a couple of friendly locals Louise and Joy I think. I seem to remember
they (or at least one of them) worked in the chippy. We returned to CSL
armed with a tent a few weeks later. Enjoyed the weekend thoroughly. Slept
soundly on the bus back to Notts. Will have to get back one day and see
it again. Great Memories.
Phil from Wiltshire (Wednesday, August 10, 2005)
hello there i have been coming to chapel for years, i have enjoyed every
day of every trip i have had and really enjoy the place. I have even been
in the middle of winter and it still seems a lovely place and a for the
most part lovely people.
i will ask for some help and it involves the rather shall we say horrible
new pub called the neptune. There seems to be a rather unpleasant young
man who shall we say ruined my last visit holiday to your beautiful village,
if you know of any way i could complain about the pub i would much like
the help.
once again i would like to say what a lovely village you have and how
pleasant i find the people of chapel yours thankfull for a lovely time
Mr.j.s.moore (Sat 06/08/2005)
Brilliant is all We can say about chapel, it just keeps getting better.
We started off hiring a caravan on trunch lane but fell in love with the
place so much so we bought our own. the marina restaurant is superb well
worth a visit

David from Barnsley (Tuesday, June 28, 2005)
Can i just say how much me and my family enjoy coming to Chapel-st-leonards.Can
anyone let me know if there is any information about Cycle paths in and
around Chapel, we have a very young grandson and we like to take him with
us cycling we have a seat for him on our cycles, trouble is ,as you are
not allowed to cycle on the Promenade, and the traffic on the roads are
a we bit dangerous, we wondered if there was any cycle paths so we can
keep on taking him cycling with us, so can anyone help. Also does anyone
know of anyone selling a beach chalet down at the Point.
Marie (Mon 27/06/2005)
I have been going to Chapel St Leonards now every year in August since
1985 and I can't imagine going anywhere else! It's the only place I want
to enjoy my holidays! A fantastic place surrounded by things like Fantasy
Island and also Skegness which is only a short drive away! As for Chapel
itself?....FANTASTIC! To answer the question on The Neptune pub, I heard
that it was going to be a fun pub, but I think that it should be rebuilt
(just like the Fun Spot arcade was) as it won't be the same without it!
For the majority of my 20 years going to Chapel, every night was spent
in The Neptune! I have a picture hanging on my bedroom wall when it was
known as "The Benvenute Hotel", it's not a real picture, it's
a drawing but expertly done! Now we spend our nights in The Arches pub
opposite which is a smashing little pub to go in and always a friendly
atmosphere! Well, that's all I'm putting because I could go on forever!
In a nutshell CHAPEL ST LEONARDS IS TOTALLY FANTASTIC AND A PLEASURE TO
GO EVERY YEAR! Looking Forward to August as I type!
Rob from West Yorkshire (Monday, June 27, 2005)
i first came to chapel with my family when i was little, and when i got
in my twenties i met my partner Dave, and i started coming here with him
and his family, we've just had a baby girl Katie and we cant wait to take
her for her first holiday, and share our happy memories with her, roll
on end of July!!

site since i was about 8years old and still love to go. The weather is
gorgeous, the people are nice and the night life is a wicked. see you
soon chapel st leanord im cumin up this august get ready for me.
Amy from Derbyshire (Thursday, June 16, 2005)
Fantastic to discover this site & great to see so many positive comments
about the place. I visited CSL from 1959 to 1974 most weekends in the
summer & made many friends during this time. I remember getting kicked
out of Millers & Watsons Amusements on a regular basis for tilting
the Cakewalks & playing football incessantly on the pitch where the
Village Hall has now been built. I am nearly 50 now & I have to admit
that finding this site brought tears to my eyes.
Mark from Sussex (Tuesday, June 14, 2005)
I am 19 years of age and used to live in chapel in a bungalow on the
neptune caravan park ... i now come there at least once a year for a fortnights
holiday, you cant beat it, its my favourite place on earth. Its great
when you go to the pub and call in ginghams on the way home lol ... is
the neptune pub really being built since it got burned down??
Paddy from Derby (Tuesday, June 14, 2005)
Hi, I would just like to say that until last year i had never ever stayed
at chaple and have only stayed either in Ingoldmells or Skegness.
The only reason i went to stay at chaple was because my daughter and her
partner decided to buy a caravan and they had it sited on
Griftville site last June, since then i have been down about 7 times and
have really enjoyed it, veerything is there on your doorstep and the people
are really nice and friendly. I have just got back from my 2nd weekend
stay and have already arranged to go back down in two weeks time for another
long weekend. I can't wait.
Anon (Mon 13/06/2005)
Ive been coming to chapel for over 2 years now and i think its the best
holiday place to go to along the east coast. The atmosphere in chapel
st leonards is very warm and friendly. The people their are very nice
and very helpful. The best place to go for a relaxing drink is the beachbar.
The staff there are very friendly and always show a warm welcome. The
best b&b there is seayr hotel. The breakfasts are lovely. There is
plenty to do for the young to the old at heart. No matter what the weather
its always a great place to go.
Hazel & Paul from Grantham (Monday, June 06, 2005)
I go chapel nearly every week. i love it. the best pub is the Bellbank,
the barstaff are so friendly! just to let everyone know that the neptune
is being rebuilt it will be a great place as it's owned by sam! who owns
the bellbank and summerlands!
Katie from Leicester (Wed 18/05/2005)
I have stayed there on holiday and its brilliant. I would just like to
say the Robin Hood Holiday Park is the best!!!!!!!!!!
Leah from Worcester (Fri 06/05/2005)
Hi my names jo i think chaple-st-leonards is very nice my husband is
now thirty nine and has been going there all is life. Since we wed iv'e
also enjoyed going there as well and now with our two children 16, and
13 years of age and they also love it. We now go there about five times
a year for the weekends twice in a caravan and three time in a tent as
there is now a brillant camp site on trunch lane.The best pubs we think
are bell bank, archers, jt's and the neptune when it's rebuilt this year
2005. The best place in town for fish and chips is ginghams by far.
Jo from notts (Fri 06/05/2005)

(Sat 23/04/2005)
i first went to chapel when i was 19 years of age and fell in love with the place, i am now 50 and try and go twice a year, last year it was very quite sombody said it was because the robin hood site had stopped the touring caravans or maybe people were lost looking for the maid marion club lol.keith butler from west midlands (Wednesday, April 13)

i think the best thing in Chapel St Leonards is the Millers Arcade its
fun, exciting and never gets boring!!! its great except one of its best
staff and my boyfriend got sacked because he was doing his job, which
is talking and being nice to people and i don't think its fair do you?
kimberley from

We spent our first holiday in Chapel St. Leonards in June this year at
the Robin Hood Leisure. We travelled to a few places around the area and
have to say that Chapel St. Leonards even though small is ideal. Close
to the sea, friendly locals, very clean, a good choice of shops and restaurants/cafes.
In fact we enjoyed it so much that when we arrived home we immediately
booked another weeks holiday and will be arriving on September 18th this
year. Thank you
Donna (Fri 13/08/2004)
I have alway's been on holiday to chapel st. leonards since I was young.

As a young lad my parents always stayed at the robin hood camp. I have very good memories of the place.I even met my first girlfriend there.I was nine she was fourteen.Now i am 31 and i hope to introduce my new son to the excitement of chapel when he is old enough. Last year when i got married my wife was pregnant so we couldnt go abroad. But we had the most fantastic time at chapel and we were planning to come back this year to spend our first anniversary but unfortunately there are many more people than me that have fond memories of this magical place, and everywhere is fully booked.
These days its hard to find a place that has everything. A place where you can forget all your troubles and feel the minute you hit that bend in the road that you are amongst friends and that you never want to leave again even before you start the holiday. I'm just sorry that i didnt book earlier, but i have my memories. Thankyou. (Wed 21/07/2004)
my wife and i recently visited the robin hood leisure complex we took
our two dogs and stayed in my aunts caravan. we have not had an holiday
since being married[wont put dogs in kennels] and what a fantasic week
we had the people were friendly, weather great ,club tropicana amazing
,and so dog friendly. Hopefully we will return in about three weeks time
a great time had by all highly recomended missing the place already.

Hi I recently emailed you to tell that your Website is really good and
that me and my family love chapel st leonards and come every year. Well
I also asked why Sharkys wasn't included, I must apologise as I didn't
realise Sharkys is part of Millers Amusements. Regards,
miss k taylor (Tue 22/06/2004)
Your Website is brilliant. Me and my family come to Chapel St Leonards
every year and we always have a wonderful time. I think Sharkys should
be included in your website as it is somewhere we go the kids love it
and we get to have a drink while they play on the equipment. yours faithfully,
miss k taylor (Mon 21/06/2004)
I think st leonards is the best place i've ever been to because i love
robin hood leisure and club tropicana and i think it is the most friendly
place it is allot of fun with the arcades and restaurants beaches and
other things for the whole family plus it's near fantasy island in ingoldmells
and near skegness and mble thorpe I think club tropicana is the best club
in the WORLD it is the best family entertainment place I've been in so
I think Chapel St Leonards is fun for all the FAMILY

Chapel is a lovely place to go on holiday, i've been going there all
my life and i keep wanting to go back for more. Its a perfect place for
my disabled mother, its on the flat, its quiet and most place's are wheelchair
friendly. And you just can't beat a little stroll along the beach has
the sun goes down... just lovely.
A Hawkins From Nottinghamshire (Wednesday, May

Hello i have been coming to chapel now for 16 years, every year is as
good as the last. When i was about 4 i lived there for a couple of years
and that's why i love it so much. This site is very good indeed but there
is no information on it about trunch lane, and for me that's where everything
is in chapel. You've got yabas warehouse all the arcades etc. If you added
something about those sort of things then the site would be fantastic.
Pat from Derby (Tuesday, May 11, 2004)
Hello i have been visiting chapel for over 50 years now. When walking
home from the pub i always stop and get a cone of chips with some mushy
peas. A trip around yaba daba doo's is highly recommended for it has some
of the best bargains around.
Karl from Derby (Sunday, May 9, 2004)
Hi my name is Leanne and i'm 15 i've been coming to chapel ever since

Visited Chapel for the first time at the wkend and was very unimpressed.
It's full of arcades, caravan parks and not much else. I found the public
toilets on the green to be disgusting. The only good thing about Chapel
St Leonards is the St Leonards Family Restaurant. The food was absolutely
lovely and the staff really friendly.

I always go Chapel St. Leonards for the day when i am over Mablethorpe
as i have a caravan there. I think Chapel St. Leonards is a very very
nice place. It's more peace full then Mablethorpe. The beach is nice here
and so are the people. I can not say a bad thing about Chapel St. Leonards.

I have been coming to Chapel St Leonards all my life. My grandmother
had caravans on the Benvenutte years ago and they were handed down to
my mother. Me and my husband come as many times as possible and each year
we spend more time there. Its so relaxing and i always so i am home there.
I don't think anything should be changed and was upset by the change of
name on the Maid Marion Club. Everyone knows the Maid Marion Club from
years ago. Come on change it back and call your new pub the Merry Men
as i am sure there will be plenty!

for more!! i just love the village and am one day hoping to live there.
I love the whole thing mornings walking along the beach everybody gives
you a friendly "hello" it's just wonderful. I'm going to keep
coming back!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!

It's many years since I've been to Chapel; an aunt used to live there
near the Vicarage and had a van on Tomlinson's site. I spent many a long
summer there and seeing your site and views has brought back many memories
- such as the Crazy Golf that used to be on the Village Green.
Rob from Manchester (March 13, 2004)
Please would the caravan sites advertise on the web for holiday hires,
so I can bring my family to this lovely village, we love it.

Hi., we have been coming to Chapel for holidays and days out for over
25 years, initially with our daughter who was then a toddler, latterly
the two of us.
Came last Friday for the day, lovely weather, good food at Marina Restaurant,
huge ice cream, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as we always do. However
noticed the usual dogs (And owners) who can't read the signs about beach
restrictions.
Also this time there were from mid afternoon, young(ish) males racing
quad bikes a great speed along the beach near the Pullover. There were
some families on the beach and this seems rather dangerous. Has this come
to the attention of whatever authorities are responsible?- it looked a
bit like an accident waiting to happen particularly as there was so much
more beach area away from the Pullover for this activity (if it's allowed
anyway). Thought you might be interested in this feedback, we'll be back
soon.

Hi. I have been coming to chapel st leonards since 1974, and believe it or not have been every year since. I cant get enough of the place. My parents are the same, and like it so much that they bought a chalet on Kings 4 years ago. Now I am over there every few weeks, usually with my son, who is 4. The people are fantastic and the atmosphere is great. And finally, I think the website is fantastic...WELL DONE! mark...Ripley Derbyshire. (2003 August 20)
We spent one day at chapel, booking a week next year, what a nice friendly
place .

Hello there,
Congratulations on a fantastic website! I have been visiting Chapel for quite a few years now and absolutely love
the place. My fiance first brought me to chapel and I fell in love with
it immediately. At first we would stay in his aunts caravan on the Merry
fields site but now we stay in his parents caravan on Anchor lane in Ingoldmells
but we still come into chapel everyday we are there. The beach is lovely
and the people are friendly. We particularly love having our sunday roast
at the Marina restaurant and our cooked breakfasts at The Little Acorn cafe!
The unspoiled village is a must see for all visitors and a trip round
Yabbas warehouse is highly recommended!!!
A few games on the various bingos is fun and a spot of crazy golf is a
must!
When we are back at home we are counting the weeks to our next visit.
The people, the village, the amusements, the shops, the restaurants, the
take away's (particularly The Golden Dragon!) everything!!!!!! makes chapel
the perfect english seaside holiday resort. Long may it reign!!

Very much enjoyed the website of the village of
my birth. My Grandfather had Stow's stores for many years and I
grew up on Sandy Lane. We had a reunion this week in Nova Scotia of the
36 members of the family of Captain Jack and Maisie Stow who left Chapel
in 1952 and came to Canada in 1958.
Keep up the good work.

Hi There!
I have been coming to chapel almost every year since I was a toddler way
back in 1957!
My year is not complete without a visit and over time I have bought at
first my wife for the first time in 1979 and then our two sons in the
1980's. Its really is home from home and I am really looking forward to
our next holiday this coming August. As a kid I remember the arcades being
built (jimmy's bingo) with a small kids fairground rides in it while it
was part constructed, the happy times spent at The Ship in with its super
slide and old railway carriages for hen houses! They served the best mushy
peas ever from a small cabin in the garden in those days!! I also remember
Chapel Point before the steps were installed in 1969!
Thanks for letting me share my happy Chapel memories with you.

Hi I saw your site and I just had to drop you a line.
I've been visiting chapel since I was 6weeks old (im 25 now) and have
great memories of chapel ,we always went because my had visited a lot
when he was a kid. I've got a child of my own now and I hope he grows
up loving the place as much as the rest of his family. My husband loves
it too. I honestly believe there's nowhere quite like chapel and if ever
I win the lottery I'm moving there!!! Thanks for keeping such a great
holiday village don't let them build a mcdonalds or anything like that
it's the best as it is.
