Adjacent to the coast, the terrain is level, and is excellent for the novice cyclist. For
the hardened rider, the Lincolnshire Wolds offer a refreshing challenge, with spectacular
panoramic views of unspoiled countryside coupled with numerous hamlets and villages.

On foot, visitors will discover miles of
glorious, off road tracks and bridal paths that meander through open
countryside, over rolling hills, and alongside tiny flowing streams. The terrain varies
from level to hilly and from woodland to pasture. To cyclists, ramblers and to all
tourists, the local Inns and friendly ivy clad country pubs provide a welcome break
and offer excellent service for food and drink.
It is well worth packing a pair of walking boots and your
cycle if you are visiting this area..
