A picturesque network of interlinked long-distance walks
The Macmillan Way is a route created to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support to which all proceeds are donated.
It runs along sea banks and river banks, across the Lincolnshire fens via Stamford, eventually to Abbotsbury on the Dorset Coast. From the fens it follows, as near as possible, the route of the oolitic limestone belt or ‘Cotswold’ stone. The Macmillan way links with the Viking Way at Oakham. Enjoy the Macmillan Way challenge or try some of its sections.
