There are a few bunkers situated along the path. They're well preserved from outside; however, not looked after inside- full of poo bags and other rubbish. A very interesting part of the history.

Canal bank on southern side is grazed by cattle between bridge and the coast. Canal bank on northern side is not enclosed so much safer for dog walkers.

Tetney Lock is situated on the canal linking the North Sea and Louth. It is popular for fishing and kayaking, and if you have neither of those items to hand, drinking and eating are on offer at the Crown & Anchor.
