Another chance to get out again with Tracey and Clara and complete a walk from the picturesque wolds village of Tealby up to Walesby and back,had us having a really great day out again.
It made a nice change not having to drive too far today and we were parked up in the village in about 35 minutes from leaving home.
The walk starts off in the village and you basically follow the Viking Way signs all the way up to Walesby and the lovely little Rambler's Church,or the Church Of All Saints as it is officially known.
On the walk it takes in some great scenery which included the ruins of Castle Farm as you leave Tealby and Bedlam Plantation,before walking over rolling Wolds hills to pass Risby Manor and the lovely Lincolnshire Long Wools,a rare breed of sheep farmed in the area.
After leaving Risby Manor behind,you walk across a large area farmed for Red Deer and it was great to see these majestic animals close up as we headed for Walesby.
The Rambler's church has been here since at least the 12th century and probably earlier as there is some evidence to suggest a Saxon church stood here also,nearby there was a Roman settlement dated at 320AD.
The walk back to Tealby was basically below were we had walked in the outward leg.
A few birds were seen on the walk and the best went to a lovely Redstart,seen below Castle Farm as we walked along the first section of the walk.
After a lovely lunch at the Vintage Tea Rooms,we walked up to Tealby Thorpe again to show Clara,what a lovely little part of Lincolnshire this is.
The following are a selection of pics form the walk.
