‘Breathtaking’ coastal walking route brimming with autumn wildlife is an easy drive from Nottinghamshire
The 5.5-mile route takes in a beautiful stretch of the Lincolnshire coastline
October is now here, which means that we’re now really starting to notice the hallmarks of autumn.
From trees shedding their leaves to much cooler weather, the signs of autumn are all around us.
With those long and warm summer days now a distant memory, it can be easy to go into hibernation during autumn and be reluctant to leave the house.
But fresh air and exercise are vital for maintaining both our physical and mental wellbeing, which is why becoming a recluse isn’t the best idea.
Autumn is actually a great time to dust off your walking boots and start exploring the great outdoors, particularly on a crisp and sunny day.
Those who venture into the Nottinghamshire countryside at this time of year will be rewarded with beautiful scenery as leaves change colour.
Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, why not cross the border into Lincolnshire and see what our neighbours have to offer.
The beautiful Lincolnshire coast is perfect for a daytrip from Nottinghamshire this autumn, with so many little-known beaches virtually untouched at this time of year.
Walking is the best way to get up close and personal to the coastline, and luckily there are dozens of official routes to choose from.
You really can’t go wrong with any of the coastline’s designated walking routes, but one in particular stands out for its natural beauty.
Why the Anderby Creek to Marsh Yard walk takes in the best of the Lincolnshire coastline
Taking visitors for a whistle-stop tour around the Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park, the Anderby Creek to Marsh Yard walk showcases the very best of Lincolnshire’s coastline.
The 5.5-mile walk starts in Anderby Creek - a small village located a couple of miles north of Chapel St Leonards.
With five miles of beautiful sandy beaches, amazing big skies and some wonderful wildlife sites, the Coastal Country Park is a great place to explore and enjoy during the autumn months.
Walking along the beach and behind the dunes, visitors will discover wildlife rich nature reserves during the walk north to Huttoft Beach.
The walking loop should take roughly 2 hours and 45 minutes, although that will clearly depend on how many times you stop to take photographs.
A reward upon your return to Anderby Creek should be a pit stop at the Anderby Beach Cafe, which offers a range of refreshments and light bites.
