A circular walk of 4.5 miles from Nettleton village. This walk passes through an area that was, until a few decades ago, one of the most industrial parts of the Wolds. Today the Nettleton Valley is a grassy, peaceful picturesque place, and from the top there are fine views towards the River Trent and Lincoln. 

  • Distance: 4.5 miles. Allow 2 to 2.5 hours walking at a leisurely pace.
  • Maps: OS Explorer map 282 and 284
  • Parking: The Ramblers Car Park on the road from Nettleton to Normanby le Wold. Post code - LN7 6TA. Grid ref - TF 111 991
  • Terrain: This is a varied walk mainly on grassy paths, and along a quiet country lane. The paths may be muddy so stout shoes or boots are recommended.
  • Stiles: There are some stiles and gates, as well as a few slopes.
  • Refreshments: The Salutation Inn (0.8 miles), The White Hart (1 mile) and Caistor Arts and Heritage Centre (1.2 miles).
