Starting
in Market Rasen, this route passes through a variety of Lincolnshire villages
situated in beautiful, rolling countryside, before finishing in the
out-of-the-way village of Walesby, close to where you started.
Market
Rasen boasts the only horseracing course in Lincolnshire.
There
is a strange custom in Caistor. Each Palm Sunday a man from
Ravensthorpe upon entering the church must crack the Gad Whip &
then hold it over the vicar's head.
Much
of Caistor had to be rebuilt following a major fire in the town in
1681 - hence the predominance of Georgian & Victorian
architecture in a settlement that goes back to Roman times.
