Lovely old church, nice place to take 5, before climbing up the hill.

St Peter's dates from the 12th century with later extensions, have an interesting font with a Spode font basin that was installed in 1814 and the front of the altar is formed from the tomb stone of the last abbess of Torksey. In the 7th century St Paulinus baptised a great multitude of people in the river near Torksey, in the presence of King Edwin. At the time of the Domesday Book there were 3000 people living here and of all the settlements in Lincolnshire, only Lincoln and Stamford were larger. In the Middle Ages as well as St Peter's, there were two other parish churches in Torksey, All Saints & St Mary's and two monasteries, a house of Augustinian Canons and the priory of Foss for Cistercian nuns. The settlement has shrunk to a quarter of its former size and all that is now left of this rich ecclesiastical heritage is St Peter's church.

Torksey Lock is a canal lock on the Fossdyke Navigation Canal near Lincoln, England. It's a popular spot for leisure craft, wildlife watching, and walking. The Fossdyke Navigation Canal was originally dug in Roman times but was re-opened during the reign of James I. The lock controls the outfall to the River Trent.

St Luke's Church, was built in the 15th century and has a Norman west tower with a Perpendicular bell stage and buttresses. The remaining parts of the church were rebuilt between 1770 and 1773.

Travelling East, the Fossdyke Canal Trail begins (or ends if you're travelling West!) at Saxilby. This traffic free path follows what is most likely the oldest canal in England that is still in use, thought to have been built around 120AD by the Romans. The road is parallel to the trail on the opposite bank for a short distance before heading South-East to Skellingthorpe.

Torksey Lock is where the Fossdyke navigation meets the River Trent. The lock is extra wide and long, in order to allow it to take bulky barges - with no less than six pairs of lock gates. Torksey Lock has tea rooms nearby and is a great place to watch river craft go by.
