Gainsborough to Saxilby
A station-to-station walk
Moderate
13
MI
A walk that begins with all-road walking to Sturton-by-Stow, then a mixture of tracks and footpaths, then field paths that can be heavy going when recently cultivated or ploughed and before a long walk through the outskirts of Gainsborough. Sturton-by-Stow has a Co-op for a break.
Lunch: Sturton-by-Stow has a Co-op for a break.
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a fifth of the walk. The road section to Sturton-by-Stow is quite busy, requiring you to step onto the verge for passing cars. Gainsborough Central is served only by the Saturdays-only Brigg line — a few trains on Saturdays, none midweek.
