The Lake at Fillingham

The Lake, Fillingham

A surprisingly large lake of about 28 acres. This is the narrower east end. It is one of the sources of the River Till.

Looking across the Ancholme Valley towards the Lincolnshire Wolds.

Footpath to Ingham

The first part of this path uses some of the infrastructure of the former RAF Ingham Link

Gate across the path near Cliff House

The gate is tied and not easily opened. However it is very low and is easily stepped over.

Jonathan Thacker

Footpath to Ermine Street

Strictly this isn't the footpath to Ermine Street but no other route is indicated and this is clearly used as such.

Jonathan Thacker

Footpath to Middle Street

Looking towards Cliff House. Middle Street is the B1398 between the High Street (i.e. Ermine Street A15) and Low Street which now is an intermittent collection of roads and footpaths along the foot of the Cliff to the west of Middle Street.

A15 The A15 is the main north-south road in Lincolnshire, running the entire length of the county for almost 100 miles between Hessle, near Kingston upon Hull, and Peterborough via Lincoln, Sleaford and Bourne. It is also the road that crosses the Humber Bridge.

A15 The gateway is Grade II* Listed. It was built in 1775 of limestone ashlar and was possibly designed by John Carr. The last people to live here were a couple by the name of Grant in the late fifties, the living room and kitchen were on one side of the gate and the bedroom on the other. It had no electric or running water but had a well and pump in the garden.

Fillingham and the Cliff: aerial 2017

A good shot of the "Cliff", which runs N and S through and from SK9586. The B1398 "Middle Street" runs along the crest. It runs from south of Lincoln up towards Scunthorpe, through a series of villages with "Cliff" in their name eg. Hemswell Cliff.
