Overview

Meet 11am at Sleaford railway station.  A linear walk along public footpaths and quiet lanes with fine views across the Ancaster Valley, South Rauceby, alongside the River Slea to discover the site of Sleaford castle! (this is a linear walk, we take the train out and walk back to Sleaford, we do not return to Ancaster).
