Nightingale Farm

Site of a Roman villa by the A52 near Haceby

There is little to be seen now. But earlier excavation revealed a large villa, probably of a courtyard plan consisting of eight rooms including a bath house, and artefacts including coins dating from the period 76 to 364 AD. Link

The site, a scheduled Ancient Monument, lies next to the A52 (beyond the hedge on right), which follows the route of a Roman road (the Salt Way).

Farmland near the A52, Lincolnshire

This track goes halfway across the square to a small hollow. Nightingale Wood, on the eastern boundary, is on the horizon. A public footpath goes from the view point north east to Aisby and a bridleway traverses the square south from the A52 on its way to Oasby.

Stretch of shady footpath - round Culverthorpe Lake

This footpath view is close to the Culverthorpe Hall public carpark and is part of a short circular route round the larger lake; a stretch of the route is, however, along the edge of a road.

New plantation to the rear of Heydour church

This is a new plantation of mixed young trees; with space being left on the right for the footpath wanderers of the future - when the trees have grown and changed the view.
