Donington on Bain Walks
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.
