スケリングソープでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

narrow path here alongside a very busy main road - barriers either side though.

Entrances into Old Wood are via bridle gates – suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs – and stiles, although at some points of entry access may be limited. The eastern side of the wood is accessed via two public byways which join up with a bridleway and footpath running along the eastern edge of the site. Two more footpaths enter the woodland from the west, over adjacent farmland via a stile. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/woods/old-wood-skellingthorpe/

good look at the marina of burton waters and the boats, if refreshments are required, head to the tavern.

lovely sit down spot next to the woods

The Pyewipe Inn, alongside the Fossdyke Canal Trail is the perfect location for those who prefer more relaxed scenery to enjoy a leisurely meal and pint with, compared to the bustle of the nearby city of Lincoln (less than 2 miles away).

Really nice and handy watering hole along the touring trail

Brilliant woodland trails in this area between Doddington and Skellingthorpe.
