Neighbourhoods
Historically a Viking settlement on the outskirts of Lincoln, now a thriving growing village with 2 real ale pubs, local shop, pharmacy, 2 churches, 2 local schools. On the sustrans cycle network route 64 (which also runs really close to our wood!) Also home to our ancient woodland which is itself part of historic Skellingthorpe Big Wood, over 700 + hectares of pristine unmolested ancient woodland. I have lived here for 37 years and still haven’t explored it all!
