Overview

As part of the North Kesteven Walking Festival, our walk today is organised by the Ramblers Lincolnshire Area and Poacher Line Community Rail Partnership. (www.poacherline.org.uk)

Catch the train from Skegness, Wainfleet, Boston, Heckington or Sleaford to Ancaster .

Our route follows public footpaths and quiet lanes with fine views across the Ancaster Valley, South Rauceby, the River Slea, to finish at Sleaford station and discover the site of Sleaford castle.

This is a linear walk, we take the train out and walk back, we do not return to Ancaster.

Sorry, no dogs.

Bring a packed lunch and drink. Wear suitable clothing & footwear.

The walk is free but train fares apply. Booking is not required.
