Market Rasen & Caistor

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.
