In Bourne Wood Bourne Wood is an ancient area of woodland on a ridge of mainly poor soil to the west of Bourne.  It was taken over by the Forestry Commission in the 1920's who planted large areas of conifers.  Today it is used mainly as a recreational area for local people and is being gradually restored to native broadleaf woodland. 

Over the years several resident artists have added their contributions to the woodland.  The circular structure of willows in the foreground is a living sculpture by Claire Wilks called "Helter Skelter".

Footpath to Cawthorpe from A15 This footpath is well-used and maintained as a path: the pedestrians and a few cyclists have crops in varying stages of growth from being ploughed up to walking by crops as tall as a child all within a year.

This footpath follows the course of the Roman Road 'King Street', which having come through Bourne from the south makes a turn at the corner on the A15 and heads toward Stainfield and hence to Ancaster.
