The Water Rail Way, Boston.

This is the Boston Belle. She is moored on the River Witham and can be hired for trips up river or down to the Wash. The river beyond the sea gate is known locally as The Haven and once you're in the Wash it can be lovely, teeming with wildlife. The website is http://www.maritimecruises.co.uk/ if you're interested. I'm not on a commission.

The Water Rail Way is a combined footpath/cycleway from Boston to Lincoln although it's part of a very strenuous pan European cycleway for the really adventurous.

We've cycled the Lincoln to Woodhall Spa section which was very pleasant. We stayed at the equally pleasant Stonehouse Lodge, http://stonehouselodge.net/ and cycled back the next day. A night away with a difference. I do hope these people appreciate all this free publicity.

Below is another picture taken from the footpath.
