Looks nice until you end up on a very bumpy section, but after that it turns into a twin track.

Thanks for highlighting this bridleway. We'd have missed out on a nice bit of traffic free route.

This church in Louth, a place of prayer for many centuries and dedicated to St. James as its patron saint, is closely intertwined with a very specific moment in English history that took place almost five centuries ago. In British history, this moment in October 1536 is known as the "Lincolnshire Rising." This uprising was a protest by large sections of the population against King Henry VIII, particularly his actions following his separation from his wife, which led to the English Church splitting from the Roman Catholic Church.
