Nettleton Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nettleton Hill (113m), on the edge of the Wolds, served as the centrepiece of the Tour of the Wolds professional road race.

It has a relentless gradient that provides a challenge for even the best cyclists who are rewarded by great views.

Wold Top (Highest Point in Lincolnshire)

Highlight • Summit

Congratulations! You've just made it to the highest point in Lincolnshire (168m). Wold Top, or as close to it as you can get by road, is a short walk by footpath if you seek the actual summit. Fantastic panoramas of the Wolds await.
