Donington on Bain River Circular Walk with OS Map

This pretty village is located in the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB, on the banks of the River Bain. It's a great place to start a walk with some beautiful countryside, river views, a 12th century church and a fine 18th century pub to relax in afterwards.
This circular walk from the village first heads north along a section of the Viking Way to Biscathorpe where you will find the site of a deserted medieval village.... This opening section follows the River Bain, passing a small lake on the way.
The route then heads east to Gayton le Wold, passing Gayton Manor on the way. You then follow some country trails south through farmland before turning east back to the village.

Head just a few miles to the east and you can enjoy another nice waterside walk along the Louth Canal. Near here there's also some lovely scenery and fine walking trails in the Hubbard's Hills.
Head south to Goulceby and you could visit the unique landscape of the splendid Red Hill Nature Reserve. There's a steep chalk escarpment with wonderful views and some rare plants and flowers to see here.
