Lincolnshire Coast Path - Boston to Wrangle

Not strictly part of a coast path but this route roughly follows the coast of medieval times when Wrangle boasted the third largest harbour along this section of coastline.

The end of the walk is at Batemans Brewery where a worthy reward of some handsome ale can be purchased in this unique setting within the confines of an old windmill.

Departure from Langton by Wragby (Lincolnshire)
This Lincolnshire walk is somewhat different in that walkers can do some route finding for themselves.

Part of the walk follows quiet country lanes and traverses typical Lincolnshire countryside.
