Wellingore and the Lincoln Edge, 30th January 2022

Paul's 8.6 mile walk today took 22 of us from The Memorial Hall in Wellingore to the villages of Navenby, Boothby Graffoe and Coleby which lie along a stretch of the limestone ridge of the Lincoln Edge.  The Edge or Lincoln Cliff runs for over 50 miles from the Leicestershire border near Grantham to the Humber Estuary and is broken only twice by river gaps at Ancaster and Lincoln.  Part of the route follows the Ridges & Furrows Arts & Heritage Trail, a 30 mile trail running along the Lincoln Edge in North Kesteven between Sleaford and the Millennium Green in North Hykeham.
