Quern Dyke Holt is a woodland area located in Lincolnshire, England. It is situated near the village of Wood, in the district of Forest. The name "Quern Dyke Holt" is derived from the Old English words "quern," meaning a hand mill used for grinding grain, "dyke," referring to a ditch or trench, and "holt," meaning a small wood or copse.

Covering an area of approximately X acres, Quern Dyke Holt is a picturesque woodland that offers a diverse range of flora and fauna. The wood is characterized by a mixture of broadleaf and coniferous trees, including oak, beech, birch, and pine. These trees provide a dense canopy, creating a habitat for a variety of wildlife species.

The woodland is intersected by a network of footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the area and enjoy its natural beauty. These paths lead to several clearings and glades within the wood, providing peaceful spots for picnics or simply soaking in the tranquil surroundings.

Quern Dyke Holt is also home to a small stream that meanders through the woodland, adding to its charm. The stream attracts a range of water-loving birds and insects, making it an ideal spot for birdwatching and nature photography.

Managed by the local authorities, Quern Dyke Holt is open to the public throughout the year. It provides an excellent opportunity for nature lovers, walkers, and families to connect with the natural environment and experience the beauty of Lincolnshire's woodlands.

Potterhanworth Water Tower Potterhanworth Water Tower was built in 1903 with a tank capacity of 37,000 gallons filled from a 150ft deep artesian bore hole in a nearby field. It was financed by an Endowment from Christ's Hospital as the 16th century philanthropist Dr.Richard Smith, founder of Christ's Hospital in Lincoln had land in Potterhanworth .... his coat of arms can be seen in the brickwork. The two rooms below the tank were used for Parish Council meetings, the Men's Institute and, during the war for the Home Guard platoon.

The B1190 - "Bardney Causeway" The road runs for 4 kilometres across the fenland - almost dead straight. Raised above the surrounding land, there are deep drains on each side. Subsidence has caused slight undulations. High speed is tempting, but quite a few cars have ended up in the fields or the drains.
