Lincs Wold Way

Lincolnshire, NE Lincolnshire

This circular walk is mainly within the Licolnshire Wolds National Landscape and has been designed to take in the best of the Wolds and keeps to the high ground whenever possible. It has been broken down into 5 stages, averaging 6 hours walking per day. The start and end of each section has been chosen as a convenient point to be dropped off / collected and if your timing is right to sup a well earned pint at a local hostelry. It is best to check opening hours for rural pubs.

The Wolds are perhaps one of this country’s best kept secrets containing some lovely gentle walking over mostly open farmland. The Wolds can be described as 'an elevated tract of open country', or an 'open hilly district'. The Old English spelling would have been 'weald' which is a forest as in Saxon times much of the land would have been tree covered before it became extensively farmed. There is also much evidence of the coming of the Danes, especially in the place names.
