Chapel St Leonards – Coastal Country Park Walks
Chapel St Leonards, north of Skegness
Chapel St Leonards lies on the coast at the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park (LCCP).
The walk will take in the village, surrounding countryside and the coast. The Coastal Country Park stretches along the coast from Sandilands to Chapel St Leonards, and inland to Hogsthorpe, Mumby, Anderby and Huttoft. There are miles of stunning sandy beaches, wildlife packed nature reserves and varied attractions including the North Sea Observatory, Cloud Bar, Round and Round House and Sound Tower. Partner organisations are working together to provide high quality facilities for people, better protection for wildlife and landscape and increased opportunities for people to experience and enjoy this part of the Lincolnshire coast.

This walk will take you past a number of pubs including The Vine, The Ship Inn and the Trafalga Inn.
The Inns on the Edge project is funded by Historic England to look at the significance of rural pubs along the Lincolnshire coast. As well as researching the history of these valued historic pubs the project will also look at the pressures on these businesses and the opportunities for them to thrive and innovate.
