This is such a gorgeous section of walking high up in the wolds where hills fold over each other and the views stretch as far as the eye can see.

This pond provides a perfect opportunity to stop, have a breather and eat some lunch or a snack if you require more fuel! If you haven't brought your own and feel a bit peckish, continue past the ponds (with them on your right) to the forest cafe.

A lovely section of lanes through the lush deciduous forest in the Lincolnshire Wolds. After the woodland boundary, the countryside opens into colourful meadows and wide fields. There is also a mtb trail in the woods.
