222 Market
Place to church,then
river bank.
This path
has recently had some work done on it – a hard surface has been laid from
the church to the Gibson Cut bank, and then to the sluice bridge on the
River Bain. Very favourable comments have been made by local people who can
now access the river bank easily. We wonder whether the heavy equipment used
by the drainage board will cause any damage to the sides of the path – the
outside edges are not flat or consolidated. |

226
Mason’s Lane – Thorpe Road
This path
crosses fields which are under cultivation. At the time of walking, there
was evidence that the width of the path had not been reinstated after
planting – it was very narrow in a lot of places. Since walking, the path
has been widened. The stiles at the old railway crossing have decayed, but
there is free access for walkers. |

174 Lodge
Road – Kirkby on Bain
The path
goes around Lodge Farm buildings at the start, and in places could be
difficult to negotiate. It then follows a hedge line, until it reaches a
bridge over the old railway line. The trees could be cut back over the
bridge, and also along the wood side. From Tattershall Carr to Tattershall
Thorpe the path is along a wide farm track, and has no problems. It then
crosses a field towards Annpasture Lane. The path had been newly reinstated
through the field. From Annpasture Lane the path goes along a track, then
over a boardwalk – overgrown in places. The track passes between fishing
lakes, with the footpath next to it. Few walkers use the path, as the track
is wide and easier to walk. No problems were encountered along this section.
