Wolds Top - Highest Point In Lincolnshire

[teslacoils]

Fresh from visiting Lincolnshire's most exciting waterfall, my children and I are keen to visit the highest point in Lincolnshire.

Sadly, the trig point at Wood Top is not on a public footpath, so I was wondering if anyone knew who's farm it was on, so I can get in touch and ask if we can walk to it.

Its not quite ben nevis country round here ,,a mole hill classes as a sharp incline

 

[teslacoils]

Yes. North, north west of the radar station. It's the trig point at 168m. Picture supplied by my small child.

Lol. After this were going to the lowest point which is well under sea level.

I think it would be on one of the Brant's farms

Yes. I give directions to here by saying you go down a hill, and you'll know it as there aren't many.

HC Wright lorries?

Is the mast not the highest point then?

 

[Lincs Lass]

HC Wright lorries?

Yes .down the road at Caistor

Not much height difference from where belmont stands ,,think the only reason it is where it is ,,theres a clearer line of reception in all directions

Yes that makes sense. Love driving that caistor high road from Horncastle. Was up there last week.

Highest point on the land is the trig point to the north. I doubt they would let me climb the mast.....

For reference, I'm going there to eat a pot noodle. My friend is currently climbing mountains in Asia eating dried noodles, so best I can go is most northerly, southerly, easterly and Westerly points, highest and lowest in lincs.

Usually heading for the bridge as fast as I can but will bear it in mind thanks. Find Lincolnshire very unspoilt to where I live near the north york moors.
