Well marked out paths along public walkways. Quiet little walk 😊

Just a cool sculpture

Some of the thoughtful sculptures on the pathway

Spoils scenery I think but it's obviously needed in the atea

This trail follows the original path of the railway that linked the historic market town of Horncastle on the edge of the Wolds and Victorian resort of Woodhall Spa to the main line at Kirkstead. The line opened in 1855 with passenger trains stopping in 1952, with the line finally closing in 1971. Today the line is now a traffic free Spa Trail. Along the trail you will find interesting sculptures accompanied with stories about the line and its history.

HISTORY OF RAF STENIGOT WORLD WAR TWO CHAIN HOME STATION The RAF base at this site had existed since the 1930’s, and was originally part of Britain’s communication network to detect incoming German bombers during World War Two. The base was originally a “Chain Home Station”; providing early warnings to Sheffield, Nottingham and the central Midlands on incoming enemy aircraft. This advanced system was the first early warning radar network in the world. This radar system watched the coastline of Britannia, detecting and tracking incoming aircraft from Germany. By the end of the war there were over forty stations included in the Chain Home Network. The radar station was pivotal during the crucial Battle of Britain. COLD WAR ACE HIGH COMMUNICATION RELAY STATION After the Second World War, RAF Stenigot continued to operate and played a part in the Cold War. This time the site was part of the “ACE High” radio communication system. The radar dishes were added at this time. They flanked a relay station which was added inside the base compound. Two dishes faced north, to pass signals towards the next relay station in Northumberland. The southern dishes sent information to Kent, the nearest southern relay in the network.
