Overview

From Little Cawthorpe, we head north through Stewton to reach Ticklepenny Lock on the Louth Navigation Canal, which we follow for a mile to The Riverhead, the start of the canal. Return along pavements and across fields, with optional refreshments at walk end (to celebrate my 75th walk for the group).
