Cycle friendly cafe with seating both indoors and out the back (use the alley to the left to reach the back). Outside has ample cycle parking in sight of the seating which is on some nice decking. Prices are extremely reasonable and staff friendly.

Lincoln Longwool Sheep Sculptures

Highlight • Monument

On the Water Rail Way cycle path near Woodhall Spa are some Lincoln Longwool Sheep sculptures by Sally Matthews. Lincoln Longwools are a very old breed of sheep, and at one stage a lot of Lincoln’s agricultural prosperity rested on their world production. Where the sculptures are is a nice spot, and the path opens out a bit, the sheep actually appear to be crossing the path, so be careful!
