ソープオンザヒルのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Stunning location for a walk

The park was created by quarrying for sand and gravel, but nature has reclaimed the pits and bare sand, creating habitats for many species.

Whisby Nature Park offers a great series of trails around the many lakes and extending into the wood and marsh land area across the railway line. Car parking and visitor / cafe facilities make this a great place for a walk or run. Most paths are a hard surface of compacted limestone.

The scrub area around Coot Lake provides cover and breeding areas for a number of different species of bird including the nightingale. As a result of this dogs are not allowed on this walk between April and July inclusive (except assistance dogs).

A lovely viewpoint overlooking Thorpe Lake at Whisby Nature Reserve. If you need a breather, there's a bench here to sit on and admire the view while undertaking a quick recovery!

Please be careful if you have animals and or children . This part of the walk ruined the route for me as it takes you out of Hartsholme country park onto a busy main road until you reach the train 🚆 line crossing. At which point it cuts back in again 😃.
