West Lindsey Health Walks is a partnership between West Lindsey District Council, Lincolnshire NHS Teaching Primary Care Trust ' Natural England Lincolnshire Sports Partnership. We offer many led walks which are free of charge, led by a qualified volunteer walk leader. The majority of our walks are circular, start and finish at the same point. We offer very easy short walks which are suitable for anyone who is new to exercise or recovering from illness.
Easy walks are between 2 and 3 miles which take 1 hour to complete and may include some stiles and inclines.
Moderate walks which are longer more challenging walks of up to 4 miles and are likely to include stiles and ascents.
Our walks
Caistor Health Walks Walk every Wednesday starting from the Parish Church at 10:30am all walks are classed as moderate due to the hilly nature of Caistor being on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Market Rasen Health Walks Meet every Thursday at John Street Car park Market Rasen and the walk leaves at 10:30am. The walks are classed as easy or moderate.
