Viking Way part 2: Ludford to Donington

A previous circular walk had included some miles of the Lindsey Trail and also some Viking Way. I have to be honest, the Viking Way is the more spectacular of the two. The council have taken care to ensure that the LT is accessible but this means that it sticks to surfaced paths and roads. This doesn't make for the most interesting walking or spectacular views. 

On 2 September we opted to continue following the Viking Way for these reasons. Previously we'd walked a section from Tealby to Walesby. In order to continue South, we drew a seven-mile route from Ludford Magna to Donington on Bain. 

In the interests of covering more miles of the Viking Way itself, we opted for a linear walk. this is more difficult if you're by yourself (unless you want to do twice the distance - one way and then back) but with two people and two cars it's not too difficult to arrange.

The details of the route are on this page. Below are more photographs of some of the best countryside that Lincolnshire has to offer. Even on a dull day, the views don't disappoint.
