언덕 위의 소프 주변 최고의 러닝 경로

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!

RAF Swinderby 1940 - 1993 was sold in 1994. The technical site is now an industrial estate and the domestic site became the village of Withal St Hughs. The airfield remains and is disused. During the second world war, No. 300 Polish Bomber Squadron and No. 301 Polish Bomber Squadron operated out of Swinderby. From 1964 until July 1993 RAF Swinderby was the home to RAF basic training for all male enlisted personnel prior to their trade training. Female enlisted personnel training moved from RAF Hereford to RAF Swinderby in 1976. I was one of the fresh faced 18 year olds who undertook my RAF basic training at Swinderby.

A beautiful vantage point to admire Coot Lake in Whisby Nature Park. On a still day the reflections are so pretty

A great series of trails in rural Lincolnshire. Make your walk as long or short as you like and end with a coffee in the cafe by the car park
