On the Water Rail Way cycle path near Woodhall Spa are some Lincoln Longwool Sheep sculptures by Sally Matthews. Lincoln Longwools are a very old breed of sheep, and at one stage a lot of Lincoln’s agricultural prosperity rested on their world production. Where the sculptures are is a nice spot, and the path opens out a bit, the sheep actually appear to be crossing the path, so be careful!
