The West Common

Our wonderful West Common is a space to be enjoyed by all – walkers, dog walkers, picnickers, horse owners and riders, children, bird watchers…the list is almost endless. It is the green lungs of the West End.

  • a towpath along the Fossdyke Navigation Canal. You can walk or cycle along the Fossdyke Canal Trail which runs alongside the canal from Lincoln to Saxilby – around 6 miles. On the trail visit the Pyewipe Inn, Burton Waters, and move onto National Cycle Route 64 to Torksey Locks.
