The Lion Statue is situated in the middle of the Aboretum.

The lion is a Grade II listed statue, dating from 1872. It was by Austin & Seeley and was presented by FJ Clarke. It is a composition figure, larger than life size, on a rendered pedestal with a moulded plinth and panelled sides.

Swanholme Lakes Local Nature Reserve was formed from a series of flooded sand and gravel pits. After quarrying finished in the 1960s vegetation was able to colonise and this has resulted in a mosaic of different habitat types in an area covering 63 hectares.

The larger-than-life size lion statue created in 1872 is a listed monument that guards the paths of Lincoln Arboretum. The Arboretum also offers it's visitors tea rooms, a Victorian bandstand, a cast iron folly, and extensive gardens with terrace features, ponds and bridges.

The new lincoln bypass cycle route is pretty decent low resistance surface, this is one of the sites enroute, but also, theres loads of cycle routes accessible from the main route

"As you stare at the limestone cliffs, it is worth reflecting that the rocks were formed in shallow warm tropical seas 165 million years ago in the Middle Jurassic period. Dinosaurs ruled the nearby land and waves were breaking on coral reefs above. There are many fossils in the limestone, mainly broken shells and corals, but you might be lucky and find a giant Plesiosaur, they have been found here!" Thankfully no Dinasours but plenty of Lorries trundling past on the A15.

It just looks like a stone till you notice the plaque that for some reason faces the road and not the pedestrian - read the plaque when there for the history.
