The Lincolnshire Wolds
This network takes in the southern part of the Lincolnshire Wolds between Louth and Horncastle. The countryside comprises of rolling hills with big open skies, so the going is generally easy and you can cover the ground quickly. Some of the hills reach 500 feet above sea level, and there are wonderful views over the flat land around the Humber estuary to the north and Lincoln cathedral to the south west. On a clear day, you can see right across the Fens and the Wash to the North Norfolk coast!

The riding is seriously wonderful. There are very few gates because there's hardly any livestock, and there's very little traffic on the lanes, many of which are old drove roads with huge grassy verges.

2 and 3-day rides back-to-start in the area between Horncastle and Louth, and a one-centre holiday with 3 petal or day rides. One of the other hosts also has a petal ride into the flat lands near the coast. You can combine place to place and petal rides to make 4 and 5-day itineraries - adding the beach ride to any of the above as an extra day. The terrain is wide open with gentle, rolling hills. 2 of the 3 hosts have stables, and the area is good for mountain-biking.

Beach Ride - We also have a riding permit from English Nature for the beach at Theddlethorpe to the north of Skegness. You do need to box there as there are no direct crossings over the A-road which runs along the coast - and you can add it as an extra day to any of the other rides on the network.
