Singletrack Through Dense Undergrowth

Highlight • MTB Park

Narrow and enclosed by deep undergrowth, these are good MTB tracks to ride through. The surfaces can be wet and mud will accumulate, but it was ok on the day I passed through in September 2024

Heron Lake is a refreshing oasis situated within the tiny hamlet of South Elkington near Louth. The lake is a popular spot amongst anglers, who are hoping to catch their next meal, and not so popular amongst walkers, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet on your leisurely stroll.

St James' Church, Louth

Highlight • Religious Site

James the Elder (the Latin 'Major' is not translated as 'great' in English), to whom this church in Louth was dedicated, belongs together with his brother to the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the Evangelist Mark lists the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James - to whom he gave the surname Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). They are said to have been very temperamental, but were loyal followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith. His grave in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia (Spain) is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

Hubbard's Hills

Highlight • Trail

Hubbard’s Hills is a glacial channel formed as the last ice age ended. A meltwater lake trapped between glacial ice sheet and the Lincolnshire Wolds poured over a chalk ridge and gouged a 125-foot-deep (38 m), steep-sided valley. The river Lud now meanders through it.
