Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape
March 18th 2024
The hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape rise up from the flatlands of Lincolnshire, providing a rich rolling landscape of flower-filled fields and hedgerows. The area has a rich history of rambling, ancient tumuli, and medieval shrunken villages. Situated in the village of Claxby in the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Viking Centre Hostel provides exceptionally good value self-catering accommodation. This accommodation enables walkers, cyclists, scouts, study groups, and extended families to enjoy the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape on a shoestring.
I first heard of the Lincolnshire Wolds as a member of the YHA, hearing talk of the iconic Woodys Top Youth Hostel. It took another 20 year to get around to visiting this quiet and beautiful area, by which time Woodys Top hostel had closed. However I soon found, hidden amidst the beautiful countryside, other remnants from the historic era of rambling that founded the YHA.
