Spa Trail opens
Philippa Forrester (Lincolnshire County Council)
TV presenter Philippa Forrester, pictured left, opened the Spa Trail between Woodhall Spa and Horncastle earlier this year. The project was funded by a grant of £375,000 made by the European Development Fund to Lincolnshire County Council Waterways Partnership. This was secured thanks to a feasibility study undertaken by Transport Initiatives in 2008.
Tim Pheby, Rob Marshall and Ted Liddle surveyed the route in a very cold and icy February, reporting their findings in March. The report recommended that the section of the Spa Trail – a disused rail track bed – that was in public ownership should be resurfaced first. The existing surface was passable by mountain bike but prone to flooding in parts. A section of the route also goes through Woodhall Spa golf course.
