Boston

'Founded in the year 1970 ... We are a lively, friendly and broad-age range group and you're very welcome to try walking with us, or to get involved in looking after paths and green spaces and opening up new places to explore.'

'The newly-opened wetland trail is a circular route around the developing wet grassland with views over to the saltmarsh. The lagoon trail is only partially suitable for wheelchair access, although the hide is accessible. Excellent views of many of the birds can be had from the car park. The wetland trail is also only partially accessible to wheelchairs.'

The Boston Experience 'There are a wealth of things to do for both visitors and residents in and around Boston, including a Trail About Town. The Boston Experience provides links to local attractions and other websites of interest.'

'On this walk you will experience both town and country taking in some of the historic streets of Boston, crossing fertile fenland fields and walking beside both a river and a man-made drain.'

Lincolnshire County Council

'Follows some of the waterways of Boston including The Haven, the Hobhole drain and the Maud Foster drain, as well as passing through two nature reserves (Havenside and Hobhole Bank). A great walk to see a variety of wildlife. The walk uses drain and river side paths which may be muddy in places.'

'Three rivers flow out into the Wash, namely the Welland, the Nene and The Ouse. Public footpaths follow the defence banks that border these rivers and the marshes that adjoin the coastline in between. The A17 provides bridges across these watercourses at Fosdyke, Sutton Bridge and West Lynn respectively. The walks are typical of this fenland area with vast open landscapes and huge skies which provide a unique charm to this part of the English coast.'

'The latest addition to the Macmillan Way stable is Cross Britain Way. Sharing a starting point with the Macmillan Way main route in Boston, Cross Britain Way heads westwards across middle England ...'

Cross Britain Way Guidebook 'This 144-page full colour book describes the route from Boston to Barmouth. Divided into 10 chapters and complete with maps and photographs.'

Walk Two 'will take approximately 3.5 hours to complete (there is a shorter Walk One): These walks will appeal to both lovers of wildlife and wild coast. Both walks take in the wonderful Frampton Marsh Nature Reserve and quiet stretches of sea bank overlooking The Wash.' Unfortunately these Walks seemed to have disappeared from the Web - so I have replaced the Link with one to Natural England.

'Walk across Britain coast-to-coast, from Boston to Abbotsbury, from Boston to Barnstaple, or Abbotsbury to Barnstaple.'
