Wolds Top - Highest Point In Lincolnshire

[T Hectares]

This thread got my curiosity up to look at this altitude map, really interesting or I’m just sad maybe??
Anyway, it’s not quite as high here as I thought at 700ft, the high points in the area are at 850ft and the highest points on the North Wessex Downs are over 950ft

@T Hectares Thanks for that! The triangulation point at the Corner of my Farm is 381FT which I knew was the highest point in the Southern Wolds. alongside the A158.
The land does rise a Little on 1 of my fields! Hence the Views.

26.755 is the height on our highest trig marker. I presume that is in metres.

In Kenya we are at 1820metres whilst in Lincolnshire we are at 1.1 meters whilst I like Kenya I feel looking up at the stunning views of Lincoln Cathedral and Bardney Beet factory with Belmont twinkling in the distance and steam from the Grass drier on the horizon cannot be beaten

Looking at the map in a bit more detail, I can see many of my arable fields have a difference of 150ft or more between the highest and lowest points

Normanby le Wold is as i understand it the highest point in Lincolnshire. I walked it once, it is marked by a stone. They tell me that the next highest point you can see is the urals in Russia.

I think they say that from the Shropshire Hills as well?

Not sad. I love that. Always wanted a 3D topographical map of Wales

I have a friend who farms in Shropshire, Lovely place.

That map has my drains running uphill.

It's about fifteen feet drop from the trig point to mine. About four miles.

The first view of the Rift from the new road from Nairobi to Naivasha is a cracker, and going along the old road the view down and across to Suswa and Longonot are beautiful too. But, then, I haven't seen Bardney Beet factory...

Not sure how much of it is still there.....

 

[Wolds Beef]

Quiet a bit! But it is producing Ryvita now!! an I believe sugar Syrup's
@Lowland1 I think you might be giving to much away as we do not want everyone in Lincs! Are you related to a Machinery dealership near Boston and a family farming dynasty around our dear Market town?

It’s still all there making syrup and breakfast cereal and ryvita. If you haven’t seen it you must it’s a real bucket list thing.

Yep, it's right up there with Slough...

It brings a tears to my eyes. A twentieth century Taj Mahal sitting beside a river rivaling some of the world’s greatest. It’s a shame the great Lincolnshire poet Alfred Lord Tennyson did not live long enough to write about its beauty.
Possibly homesickness has given me rose tinted spectacles.

He may have written about it, but didn't he escape to Sussex?

Speed-reading your post, I misread the last word as 'testicles'; and was going to sympathise. But then found myself wondering what you were doing to get that way, and decided that if it was self-inflicted it was probably best left unknown. Then I re-read it, looked at the picture above and thought it even less likely...

The good news is it seems try as we might people do not view the county of God with the same reverence as we do and as such are likely to keep away.
Whilst we have several relatives farming close to Boston especially in Villages with windmills I think the days of a dynasty are long gone but if you look for tenuous links there’s a furniture shop in Boston, Potato merchants and another who does the haulage for a big Potato firm etc. But like most folk who ended up in the colonies it’s because the opportunities are greater here than at home which is a shame because no matter what anyone says well farmed land makes for the best scenery and Lincolnshire has plenty of that.
