Beautiful sheep sculpture

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!

Don't ride into them, they budge for nobody.

The fact that a Christian house of worship - essentially encompassing the whole of heaven - is consecrated "ALL SAINTS" is not that common; it is usually one (or occasionally two) named saints who are the patron saint of a church - and therefore usually also over the municipality or town in which it is located. But in search of the origin you have to go far back into history, because the model for this practice of dedicating to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were generally dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). were consecrated. Probably the most famous Pantheon, a former pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

This quiet road follows the course of the River Witham and is part of the Water Rail Way, running from Boston to Lincoln. It also forms a section of National Cycle Network Route 1.

All Saints is a pretty parish church on the outskirts of Wellingore. The church was built in the 12th century and developed over the subsequent three centuries. The spire was added in the 14th century. Inside the north chapel, you can view an important tomb chest to Sir Richard de Buslingthorpe. The tomb dates to 1435 and is topped with reclining alabaster figures of a knight and his lady. The pews, pulpit, font and altar-rail are all from 1881. All Saints is Grade I-listed.

We followed NCN 1 from Lincoln to Martin Dales on the form Lincoln to Boston Water Railway Line. The railway lines runs between the River Witham and South Delph. Dotted along the route are various commissioned sculptures and viewing areas. You can see for miles over the fens and waterways. We had a lovely warm afternoon sun to accompany us on our final miles of the day. More information at: https://www.sustrans.org.uk/find-other-routes/water-rail-way/
