Eastern Wolds
Walk 1 - Tiny Churches
Not only does every village hereabouts have
a church, but the larger farms too, or at
least they used to. In a
landscape which makes
for pleasant walking, but
lacks obvious features,
they stand out despite their size and they
certainly are a varied bunch.
Walk 2 - Snipe Dales
When you’ve had enough of churches and
crops, what you really need is a ruined
castle, and that’s what Old Bolingbroke
surprises you with. It is very ruined,
pleasingly multi-coloured and free to visit.
Snipe Dales proves that
trees can grow in
Lincolnshire in groups of
more than five.
And who wouldn’t want to
visit a place called Mavis Enderby?
Walk 3 - The Bain
Wolds being characterised by a lack of
water, it makes sense to follow one of the
few named watercourses in
the area, but calling it a
river is generous. Even the
bridges are superfluous to
anyone wearing wellies and it does come in
handy for washing the mud off - ploughed
fields and sticky soil are a bad combination.
And we’re back to the churches, but only
two, and no castles - just a deserted village
(a.k.a. a lumpy field).
Walk 4 - Waltham on the Wolds
A long and mostly level meander over
arable land, with the occasional
sheep/cow/horse/dog thrown in for light
relief. There was once a racecourse here
and there are regular
encounters with the
remains of the railway
which once served the
villages - villages not unlike Cotswold
villages but with you the only tourist(s).

Problems with the taster clips?
Different browsers seem to handle the
video clips in different ways.
They are .webm files, which should play
directly (in a new tab) in most browsers . If
you are still having problems, here is a link
to download (for free) all the tasters (so
far) for this area in one zipped bundle.
