& THE VALE OF LINCOLN
FIGHTING TO PROTECT
THE WOLDS
no escape for the Viking Way!
a walk in the country will be no respite
The Viking Way is a long distance footpath which starts on the banks of the Humber in the north and winds its way through Lincolnshire to finish on the shores of Rutland Water, a total of 235km (147 miles). The route passes through the Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the market town of Horncastle, passes through Woodhall Spa before heading to the Lincolnshire Limewoods, the City of Lincoln, the southern Lincolnshire Edge and the Kesteven Uplands before entering Leicestershire and Rutland.
Established in 1976, the name of the route was suggested by the Ramblers Association to reflect the influence of the Danelaw in the eastern counties of Britain.
The route is way-marked throughout its length with a Viking helmet.

Taken from duckpool bridge at stixwould the unspoilt skyline with allsaints church horsington will be lost. Walkers travelling west from horncastle to woodhall spa and northwards through stixwould will circle the proposed windfarm. Views of the western edge of the lincolnshire wolds will be affected and the area will offer little or no respite on THIS PART of the viking way from the constant motion of the 125MTR turbines. rural skylines with their historic church towers will be lost for everyone!
other public paths and bridleways will be right under the turbines - go to the interactive map here for more information >
