The historic Nottinghamshire Minster town of Southwell is the seat of the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham. The Minster is globally important for the exceptional quality carvings ‘The Leaves of Southwell’.

Lord Byron also lived here. The Workhouse on the edge of town is a popular National Trust property.

Branston, a small town on the outskirts of Lincoln. This short circular walk takes in some of the many historic events and people. Also, walking out toward farmland, with the large, relatively flat, open fields. Along Hall Lane, views of the old manor house, now a hotel, Branston Hall.

The route initially follows a part of a long-distance walk, The Steeples and Spires, a route across Lincolnshire. From Branston, heading towards a neighbouring village. The route then crosses farm fields and tracks to meet the main road to Lincoln, from Branston. Crossing it and then again following farm access lanes, before returning to Branston.
