Description of the walk

Use Kiln Lane Pay and Display car park.

(S/E) From the car park, walk to Broadbank and turn left to join Northgate. At the intersection, turn right and right again at the next junction. At the red light, cross carefully the road to join Westgate/Silver Lincs Way, which is the road going up slightly on your right in front of you.

(1) Turn left in Love Lane, pass the gate and keep following Silver Lincs Way through Westgate Fields. Once out of these fields, take the flat and curved path on your right.

(2) Follow the path on your right and later, turn left before the toilets to stay on Silver Lincs Way. Walk through Hubbard's Hill along the water heading south.

(3) Just before the road, go up the stairs on your left and turn left at the first junction with a signpost. This path will lead you back at (2)

(2) From here, use the same way you came from to go back to the car park (S/E)

Pleasant walk through Louth and great walk down the valley, busy and not everyone respecting social distancing. Overall I recommend this walk.
