Join us at the Blankney Car Park (what 3 words///curries.tweeted.timed) at 1:30pm for a guided walk of the local area. The walking route explores the local countryside, once part of Lincoln Heath and now a patchwork of arable farming and sections of woodland. This walk is part of the Stepping Out network, published through a collaboration with North Kesteven District Council to inspire more people to enjoy the district’s landscapes, ancient woodland, historic buildings and charming villages.

Blankney is located on the B1188, about 9 miles north of Sleaford and 9 miles south of Lincoln. The walk starts and finishes from the dedicated Stepping Out car park and picnic site, just to the west of the village and accessed via Drury Street. Heading north on the B1188, pass St Oswald’s Church on your right within Blankney and take the next right turn, Drury Street, which is marked with a brown sign for Blankney Walks. The post code LN4 3BB will take you to this point and then, where Drury Street bends left, fork right onto a minor road (still following the brown Blankney Walks signs).

Follow the minor road over a small bridge and you will find the car park immediately on your right. If you are coming by public transport, there are bus stops in the centre of the village itself. For information on bus transport, call Traveline on 0871 2002233 or visit www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/busrailtravel. Well behaved dogs on a leads welcome. Please check the weather and ensure you are dressed appropriately. You walk at your own risk, if you have any doubts about your fitness, please consult your GP immediately.
