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 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.
