Country Walks
Previous walks
In February we completed a 6 mile walk starting from High Ridge in Navenby taking us along Ermine Street, a Roman road that linked London to Lincoln and the Humber.Started in the first century AD, it is believed to be the main route by which the Roman army entered the area.
Along Ermine Street(now a green lane), we met a lone horseman on his way to join the local hunt in an adjacent field near to the A607.He kindly invited us to have a pre-hunt drink with all of the hunt members but for time reasons we declined his kind offer.
From Ermine Street we made our way to the border of Harmston before joining Lincoln Edge(Viking Way)with wonderful views across the Trent valley as we made our way through Coleby and Boothby Graffoe before returning to Navenby.
In March we did a 7 mile walk from Southery to Woodhall Spa along the former railway line which is now the national cycleway running alongside the river Witham.
There are a number of interesting notice boards along the way covering the history of the area as well as various sculptures to see.
Next walk is Saturday 5th April.
A 6 mile circular walk in the Wolds around Walesby, Claxby and Normanby Le Wold.
Walkers should meet at our village hall at 9-30am and are advised to wear a waterproof coat, wear suitable footwear and bring a drink and a snack.
Everyone is welcome to join our walks.
