Footpath along the edge of a garden, Thorpe on the Hill

This looks to be a former field path that has not been properly diverted and enclosed when houses were built on the land. I suspect that nobody uses it now.

Footpath near Caspian Court, North Hykeham

Two public footpaths link over a small catchwater drain looking northwestwards towards Caspian Court, a road which lies on the southern edge of one of North Hykeham's more affluent housing estates. This photograph was taken on a warm and still Saturday morning in late April. Apart from the odd dog walker both paths were completely deserted, with many of the residents instead taking to the open green spaces on the estate. Left undisturbed, the twittering birds and buzzing insects easily drowned out the distant hum of traffic from Mill Lane to the southeast. The unpaved route on the left continues for some 200 metres before terminating at a gated field. The paved path (right) stretches for more than a kilometre and provides a direct pedestrian link from Mill Lane to Newark Road, approximately 900 metres to the northwest.

Lake shore at Millennium Green, North Hykeham

A small group of mallards, canada geese, and swans swim close to the eastern shore of the lake at North Hykeham's Millennium Green reserve, looking northwestwards towards the northern shore. This photograph was taken on a warm and breezy morning in late May. Sited on a former quarry, the Millennium Green reserve was created in 2000 as part of a nationwide project to develop green spaces in commemoration of the new millennium. A path approximately 1.6 kilometres long encircles the lake and provides a number of viewing spots across the water. Despite being bounded on three sides by housing estates there were very few people here on this pleasant weekend morning, probably because the reserve permits few recreational opportunities beyond walking. The lack of human activity however benefits the local wildlife, and the reserve successfully supports a wide range of birds, insects, trees, and flowers.

Footpath leading to South Hykeham, North Hykeham

A public footpath linking South Hykeham to the A46 just southwest of North Hykeham and the Lincoln bypass cuts through a wheat field, looking eastwards from the A46 towards Danker Wood. This photograph was taken on a warm and breezy morning in mid-August. An unpaved path between a dual carriageway and a small industrial estate on the outskirts of a village is never going to be busy even on a Saturday morning, and the large weeds marking the way that one must trample over are a testament to the lack of footfall this route receives. Danker Wood in the distance is probably the remnants of an ancient woodland. This bumpy and unkempt path does not go there and instead curves southwards to follow the electricity pylons over a small catchwater drain and through an uncultivated field, ending less than a kilometre away on a dirt track by a small collection of warehouses. Not a route for the sightseers. For a view from the other end of the path see SK9264 : Uncultivated field near Danker Wood, South Hykeham.

Uncultivated field near Danker Wood, South Hykeham

Electricity pylons cross an unused piece of agricultural land between the town of North Hykeham and the village of South Hykeham, looking westwards towards the A46 dual carriageway just south of the Lincoln bypass. This photograph was taken on a warm and breezy morning in mid-August. Nestled between the modest Danker Wood to the north, a small industrial estate to the east, and large wheat fields to the west and south, this seemingly forgotten (or unviable) plot of land appears to be used solely as a thoroughfare for farm machinery between warehouse and field. For a view from the other end of the path see SK9265 : Footpath leading to South Hykeham, North Hykeham.
