Unlocking the best birdwatching sites in Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire Western Edge Bird Trail
The western side of Lincolnshire is dominated by the Lincoln Cliff. This limestone escarpment runs for over 50 miles, broken only twice at Ancaster and Lincoln through which the rivers Slea and Witham respectively flow. Our birding recommendations include woods, former gravel pits and not one but two landscape recovery projects.
