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.

Footpath towards Newark Road, North Hykeham

A public footpath running between back gardens stretches into the distance, looking northwestwards towards Newark Road (the A1434) in North Hykeham. This photograph was taken on a warm and sunny afternoon in early May. Despite its proximity to a busy single carriageway this footpath would be easily missed if not for the prominent 'no cycling' signs by its narrow and overgrown entrances. With tall trees and hedges casting shadows along much of its length, the path presents a somewhat intimidating route through the estate. This footpath runs southeastwards from Newark Road to Mulberry Avenue for more than half a kilometre between the residential gardens of Elm Close (left) and Alder Close (right), and then Birch Close and Willow Road (not pictured). Perhaps an arborist could confirm whether any of the trees planted along the path match any of these names.

Signpost by a catchwater drain, North Hykeham

A signpost indicating the direction of public footpaths rises above burnet-saxifrage wildflowers, looking northwestwards along the banks of a catchwater drain by the eastern suburbs of North Hykeham. This photograph was taken on a cool morning in mid-May. For just over a kilometre the catchwater drain (here running parallel to the fences) marks the boundary between North Hykeham's eastern suburbs and the undeveloped floodplain of the River Witham. The estate on the right is primarily composed of bungalows and has no direct access to this walkway. The footpath from which this image was taken is part of a network of local routes maintained by the Hill Holt Wood charity, as indicated by the lower 'Stepping Out' pair of signs. From this point southwards the path changes from wide and flat to narrow and uneven, and while admiring the view across the Witham floodplain one must take care not to lose one's footing. For the same view fifteen years earlier, please see SK9566 : Lowfields walk by Richard Croft.

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 towards new houses, North Hykeham

A public footpath cuts through the site of a housing estate under construction, looking northeastwards towards the East Village estate on Cleveland Avenue, the latest addition to North Hykeham's ever-expanding southern suburbs. This photograph was taken on a warm morning in late May. There is perhaps nothing more geographically representative of this corner of North Hykeham than fields being consumed by new housing estates, and beyond the metal fencing on both sides of the path sits the next lot of land primed to meet the insatiable demand for housing nationwide. This being the first day of a Bank Holiday weekend the site was deserted of workers, and with many of the new 'luxury houses' in frame still vacant the estate was eerily quiet for such a pleasant Saturday morning. There was once a distant eastwards view across the River Witham towards the village of Waddington from this path, but this is now partially obscured by the fencing.

Boat by the A46 Lincoln bypass at Wisby Garden Centre

This 50ft 50 tonne Scottish wooden-hulled Fishing boat was built in 1955 at the Herd and Mackenzie shipyard in Buckie. It was first named Effulgence, before it was renamed as Silver Cord and then became Silver Cord II. It was brought here in 2010 by Richard White with the intention of restoring it.
