Discover Lincolnshire 2020 Guide

VISIT LINCOLNSHIRE
ON TWO WHEELS
VIEWS OVER THE WOLDS
PUT YOUR BOOTS ON
Lincolnshire is home to hundreds of miles
of public highways, footpaths and bridal
ways. There are routes for gentle strollers or
energetic day-long challenges for the more
adventurous. The 147-mile long Viking Way
is a national footpath which runs the length
of the county, or follow the traffic-free
Water Rail Way along the former Lincoln
to Boston railway. The Lincolnshire Wolds,
a designated Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty, offers some of the most scenic
routes with fascinating landscapes, flowing
chalk streams and welcoming hamlets,
villages and market towns. From the Lincoln
Edge in the west to the Fenlands of the
east, South Lincolnshire has an extremely
varied landscape that has witnessed Bronze
Age burials, Iron Age mints, roman forts, the
Knights Templar, castles and abbeys. But
these routes aren’t only for history lovers!
The stretch of England Coast Path along the
coastline includes breathtaking vistas across
expansive beaches and glimpses of native
and migratory wildlife all year. Whether
you want to roam with Ramblers, have an
adventure with your kids, get snapping
on a photography foray or take your
pooch out for a guided ‘walkies’, there’s
something for everyone.
GET ON YOUR BIKE!
Discover the Lindsey Trail, a unique,
multi-user route for horse carriage
drivers, cyclists and walkers. Lincolnshire
has two main national cycle routes, 1 and
64. Route 1 is the national route starting
along which will take you from the south
of the county, through Lincoln and up to
the north taking in some of Lincolnshire’s
Areas of Outstanding National Beauty.
Route 64 takes in the south west of the
county leading from Newark to Lincoln.
VIKING WAY
The national cycle network is not the
only way to see the county by bike.
The Georgie Twigg track is an off-road
route between Lincoln and Doddington;
the Witham Valley connects green parks
and open spaces for walking or cycling.
Longer routes include a Humber to the
Wash trip or a 100-mile castle to coast
adventure through beautiful landscapes.
