Saxilby to Lincoln
A station-to-station walkLincolnshireEast Midlands
The Foss Dyke section is excellent. A largely flat, very accessible route following the Foss Dyke canal on firm tarmac or gravel paths for most of the way and with a short grassy section near the Pyewipe Inn. The final couple of miles leave the canal to follow a decent but noisy pavement alongside the busy A57. Follows the Foss Dyke; Lincoln Cathedral is visible from a long way off.
Waterway: nine tenths along the Fossdyke Navigation.
Lunch: Excellent chippy on the approach to Saxilby station; cafe by the A57 junction.
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a fifth of the walk. The A57 crossing on the alternative direct line has no central refuge; this route uses a safer signposted cycle crossing with a central refuge but no lights. The A57 pavement is noisy and narrow in places.
