Horncastle Scrivelsby and Mareham on the Hill Circular

This 8.5 mile walk starts at the Spa Trail car park (free parking) just outside Horncastle, a town which lies on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds and is now a centre for the antiques trade.

We follow the Viking Way South along the canal then on to the disused railway track and past some interesting metalwork sculptures. Leaving the Viking Way we make tracks through Dalderby to Scrivelsby Walled Garden and Scrivelsby Park past grazing deer to Mareham on the Hill where we will stop at the quaint little church for a short break (they may or may not be serving tea and cakes!).
Once out of the town, the walk takes in a canal tow path, gently undulating field tracks, good paths, and quiet lanes. Please note we do need to cross the busy A153 twice during the walk.

I have booked a table for Sunday lunch in the pet friendly area at Home - Admiral Rodney Hotel, Horncastle. Please let me know in the comments if you wish to stay for lunch.
£1 subs as usual please.
