Tour Locations

Taking a walk in Lincolnshire is a fantastic way to spend a day out. Jean offers six guided tours based on the lives of two gentlemen – Sir Joseph Banks who was a botanist and explorer in the Goergian period and Henry Winn a chronicler and poet from the Victorian period. Walking tours can be tailored to suit families, groups and organisation. Each walking tour takes approximately two hours. It commences at a time convenient to you and at a pre-arranged start point.

If you wish to plan a half or full-day event, decide which person is of interest then choose tour(s) and talks relevant to that person.
