While in Lincolnshire for a party, I took the opportunity to have a walk in the Wolds, somewhere I am very unfamiliar with.
Typical scenery between Belchford and Fulletby.
A distant roe deer.
Bluebells.
St Margaret's Church, Somersby. Alfred, Lord Tennyson, was born and grew up in the village. His father was rector of this church and inside is a bust of the poet and a selection of Tennyson merchandise is for sale. From the Lady of Shalott:
On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky
Guinea Fowl.
Warden Hill, north of Somersby.
Glebe Farm, near Belchford.
The route was Belchford - Fulletby - Salmonby - Somersby - Tetford - Belchford. About 20km. I got it from Trail Magazine (via OS Maps) and adapted it a bit. Easy walking, very gentle hills, decent pint in the Blue Bell in Belchford.
