Danelaw Way

'The walk connects Lincoln and Stamford, two of the five "burghs" of the ancient Danelaw. Although the route is mainly within Lincolnshire it does stray briefly into Rutland at a particularly attractive section associated with John Clare, the poet ... The route is based upon an original proposal by Brett Collier, author of the guide book. Sadly Brett Collier died suddenly in March 2005 with only a draft text submitted to his publisher. Fortunately, the Ramblers' Association, worthy and reliable guardians of our footpaths, took up the project, surveyed and finalised the route and published the guide as a tribute to Brett, who has done so much to promote walking in Lincolnshire. If you live in the county we would urge you to purchase the guide and walk the route and make the project a success.'
