Julian Bower is a great example of a well preserved turf maze with its sunken form demonstrating its great age. It is thought that the maze was cut by Spalding Priory before 1220. It is one of few surviving turf mazed believed to be from the medieval period.

Set in a converted barn The Paddocks Tearoom offers delicious home cooked snacks, farmhouse lunches and freshly baked cakes all prepared on the premises. It's a small tea room, but very popular, so if you're part of a larger group give them a call to pre-book on 01724 721642.

Julian's Bower is a well preserved example of a turf maze, its sunken form demonstrating its great age. It has been suggested that the maze was cut by Spalding Priory before 1220, and thus predates the pavement maze in Chartres Cathedral. It is one of the few surviving turf mazes believed to be medieval in origin.

Stunning Views along this path - the path splits to allow you to walk high or on lower levels. The Humber Estuary is one of the world’s most important wetland habitats. Its unique ecosystems make it significant for nature conservation and a key destination for hundreds of thousands of birds. Species include internationally important populations of wigeon, teal, pochard, sanderling, brent geese, shelduck, lapwing, knot, and rare birds such as marsh harrier, bittern and bearded tit. The estuary was designated as a Ramsar site in 1994. http://www.visitnorthlincolnshire.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Whitton-heritage-trail.pdf
