Cycling in Lincoln
Situated in the East Midlands, Lincolnshire is one of the country’s most welcoming but least discovered cycling destinations. It is a county of contrasts; with the rolling chalk hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds gradually making way to the flatlands of the fens in the south, and the stunning coastline to the east.
Running from the Humber Estuary down to The Wash, Lincolnshire is a wonderfully diverse county to explore by bike. With charming market towns, undulating countryside and a beautiful coastline, you’ll find countless hidden gems to explore.
A variety of cycle routes have been crafted to allow you to experience different aspects of this great county. You can ride in the presence of history at Burghley House and Normanby Hall; or follow the Water Rail Way to explore the award-winning village of Woodhall Spa. You can pedal along Lincoln’s cobbled streets, tackling steep inclines, or head out to the coast and cycle alongside sweeping beaches and bewitching marshes.
Created by Cycle England, these carefully-curated routes are suitable for all abilities, and feature a selection of cycle-friendly businesses along the way. From café’s with puncture kits to accommodation with secure storage, you can enjoy a seamless cycling break in Lincolnshire - the perfect destination for exploring on two wheels.
