The Lincolnshire Wolds (low hills near the North Sea)
The Lincolnshire Wolds are a National Landscape (the new name for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty). With plenty of walking routes, you can find flourishing wildlife amid ancient woodlands and hedgerows, with buzzard and red kites soaring overhead.
When out walking, always follow the Countryside Code, to keep all creatures safe. If at the coast, read our post on keeping dogs safe by the seaside.
The Wolds run 216 miles (low hills running along the North Sea coast). The Viking Way runs for 147 miles, with some of its best parts winding through this area. You’ll pass old hedgerows, and winding streams. Villages like Tealby and Binbrook invite lazy afternoons with fresh air and stunning views.
Hidden in quiet Fenland, Heckington is the only one of its kind, still working in England. Restored by local enthusiasts, the mill grinds flour and acts as a living museum.
