Woodhall Spa from the Water Rail Way

The Water Rail Way is a flat, almost entirely traffic-free route. Cyclists will enjoy wonderful views of the fens landscapes from viewing platforms over the banks of the River Witham. The route starts in the cathedral city of Lincoln before following the former Lincoln to Boston Railway Line.

 

Following the route of the former Lincoln to Boston Railway Line, this route leaves Lincoln alongside the River Witham and passes Washingborough, Bardney and Southrey on the way to Kirkstead Bridge.

 

Here, you can take roads into the village of Woodhall Spa or continue on the Water Rail Way to Langrick Bridge and Boston.

 

The Water Rail Way passes through vast fenland landscapes with long views and expansive skies.

 

The route also features a sculpture trail commissioned by Sustrans which includes artworks inspired by the poetry of Alfred, Lord Tennyson and also by the local environment and animal breeds.

 

This route is flat and almost entirely traffic-free and offers lots of good turnaround points if you don't want to travel the full distance.
