Summary
The Silver Lincs Way is a long-distance footpath in Lincolnshire linking the towns of Grimsby and Louth. It follows footpaths, bridleways, and quiet lanes through woodland and across rolling wolds. The rural walk was created by the Grimsby and Louth group of The Ramblers’ Association in celebration of their Silver Jubilee.
From the beginning in Scartho on the southern outskirts of Grimsby, the route heads in a southerly direction to Louth via Barnoldby-le-Beck, Brigsley, Ashby cum Fenby, East Ravendale, Wold Newton, Beesby, Cadeby Park, Wyham, Ludborough Vale, North Elkington, Welton Vale, and Hubbard’s Hills. Many of the settlements on the route are on or close to the sites of medieval villages.
