Peterborough & the Lincolnshire Wolds

First stop of the day was Aldi. We are a bit over paying inflated prices for our food so it was time to get a bit of breakfast and lunch food to assist the budget. Immediately after we headed over the road to get a full English breakfast though...

Next we drove just under an hour to Peterborough. The weather was looking a little bit dodgy, but fortunately held out for us and the Peterborough Cathedral looked fantastic with a splash of blue sky behind it. Home to the largest painted wooden ceiling in Europe (or so we were told) it was the stained glass windows that truly made this cathedral feel special. The Cathedral is also over 900 years old, and took 120 years to build.

We hopped back in the car and Vela found a nice little walk for us to do in the Lincolnshire Wolds. On the way there the skies opened and we got a true taste of a British summer, hail included. Again we were lucky, and by the time we made it to our hike destination, the weather had cleared and the sun showed its face again. The little hike we went on was very pretty, about an hour and a half for a circuit from Tealby to Walesby through farmland and a bit of light bush. There were all sorts of critters including rabbits, squirrels, sheep, cattle and deer.

After our walk we found ourselves at the Kings Head Tavern - the oldest thatched roof pub in Lincolnshire, not sure how much of a claim that is but can definitely attest that it looked the part and they poured a decent ale. Onwards to Lincoln and our hotel for the night.Read more
