Enjoy a 13.5km walk through the Lincolnshire Wolds, passing through three of the county\u2019s prettiest villages: Tealby, Walesby and Normanby le Wold.<\/p>\n

This wonderfully scenic but bracing route through the Wolds proves that Lincolnshire is anything but flat.<\/p>\n

1. Setting out<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Tealby walk up the steps to All Saints church. The church dates back to the 12th century and is made from locally quarried ironstone. Inside you\u2019ll find a memorial to George Tennyson, grandfather to poet laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson.<\/p>\n

Walk left through the churchyard to the road, then along Rasen Road for 100m before turning right at the public footpath sign to Walesby. Pass through a gate and follow The Viking Way through the field, watching out for buzzards and kestrels circling the sky. Follow the yellow markers as they direct you through a kissing gate then along the edge of the next field.<\/p>\n

Cross over a bridge and walk through a gateway, continuing uphill. At the next yellow marker, bear right, skirting around the base of the hill towards farm buildings. At the gate in the corner turn right and follow the footpath alongside the woods. Now pass through a gate and follow the field boundary to your right, keeping an eye out for yellow markers. Look to your left for outstanding views towards the River Trent. In the fields on your right you may notice a flock of Lincoln Longwools, a native rare breed of sheep with a long dreadlocked coat.<\/p>\n
