Woolsthorpe Wharf, Grantham Canal and the River Devon, 1st July 2026

Starting at Woolsthorpe Wharf, Elaine's walk took 13 members along the Grantham Canal and the Sustrans cycle track to Muston Bridge, returning to Stenwith Bridge before dropping down to the River Devon which we followed to Woolsthorpe Village.  Good tracks all the way, no stiles and distant views of Belvoir Castle.

Thanks Bill and Terry for the photos.
