| Lincoln continues to grow in popularity as more people come to discover this over-looked gem. The city is a tourist centre; but is rarely overwhelmed by tourist. Those who come, do so to visit the numerous historic buildings including, of course, the Cathedral and the Castle and the specialist shops of Steep Hill and Bailgate.
Whilst the City of Lincoln features all the bustle and vibrance of city life. In contrast, just four miles away is the quiet village of Waddington. It straddles the Lincoln cliff escarpment with commanding views over the valley of the River Witham from its old centre. Its attractive stone buildings and friendly community make the village a much sought after area in the region. The village offers all essential amenities, village shops and supermarket, there is also a medical centre. It is just a short walking distance to the bus stop directly to Grantham or Lincoln.
Waddington is also surrounded by a vast array of fun and interesting things to do including walking, fishing, bowls and golf.
On the village’s doorstep is a long distance footpath (147 miles long); The Viking Way, which enters into Waddington from Humber Bridge, North Lincolnshire and ends at Oakham, Rutland. The route heads along the stunning Lincolnshire Wolds through territory once occupied by Vikings.
The areas high class fishing, two fine golf courses and the annual RAF International Air Show draw many visitors but unlike the many people that come to visit the area, Parkland residents never really have to leave.
