The family-friendly event also offers plenty to keep the children entertained.

They can take a small ramble down to the chalk stream to catch some waterbugs, solve the treasure hunt to win a prize, test their navigational skills on the orienteering course or learn some circus skills with the Earthbound Misfits.

The day runs from 10am to 4pm and all walks and activities are free, however, donations to Lincolnshire Wolds Walking Festival funds will be gratefully received.
