Help connect Lincoln

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Lincoln’s Slow Ways.

This is a good route - I live on the route and regularly use sections of it, rain, shine or snow....

Lincoln—Metheringham

The route follows the Spires & Steeples waymarked footpath almost all the way. It would be possible to avoid by using the level crossing on the High Street and using Tentercroft Street to re-join the route, though it’s a fair diversion. This flat, level and tarmacked route is an easy walk down to Washingborough. The route as marked on the Slow Ways website and gpx file follows a footpath diagonally across a field to cross the railway at a pedestrian crossing. Instead use the road shortly before reaching this point to cross under the tracks, and then follow the footpath alongside the track to re-join the route....

North Hykeham—Lincoln

(When the ditch meets the Witham the footpaths can be a little confusing - the signed path takes you away from the river through a farmyard and onto the busy Hykeham Road. It's not much of a detour but not particularly pleasant. Instead take the other, unsigned, path through a gate and between fences which takes you to the river bank.) Once you cross the very busy Newark Road go through the car park to the left of the Plough Inn and take the well surfaced Riverside Path which leads right into the centre of Lincoln....

Saxilby—Lincoln

It starts in Saxilby, and, admittedly, for the first mile or so it is pretty unpromising, following the busy A57 towards to Lincoln. This marks the start of the Foss Dyke Trail, an (almost) traffic-free path that goes virtually all the way to Lincoln City Centre along the side of the Foss Dyke, a canal that connects Lincoln to the River Trent. After the second of these, the Pyewipe Inn, it joins a very well surfaced National Cycle Network route for the rest of the way into Lincoln....
