Lincolnshire walkers asked for views one year after coast path opens

One year after the Lincolnshire stretch of the King Charles III England Coast Path opened, residents and visitors are being invited to share their thoughts on the route.

The 47-mile trail, which opened last year, takes walkers through seaside towns, nature reserves and industrial heritage landscapes — from the sandy beaches of Skegness and Cleethorpes to Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe National Nature Reserve and the Humber. Popular highlights include the seal colony at Donna Nook, birdwatching at Gibraltar Point, and views of the iconic Boston Stump.

Lincolnshire County Council has launched a survey through its ‘County Views’ platform to gather opinions on the trail. Whether you’re a regular rambler or an occasional visitor, the council wants to know how you found the route and any suggestions for improvements.

Deputy council leader Coun Rob Gibson said: “When you provide feedback to us, we get a snapshot of views that helps us understand what residents want and need. The coastal path is only a year old, and this is a great time to review who is using it and how we can make it appeal to residents and visitors alike.”

The Lincolnshire section forms part of the 2,700-mile King Charles III England Coast Path, which was officially inaugurated by His Majesty at Seven Sisters National Nature Reserve. Completion of the final links means walkers can now travel more than 450 uninterrupted miles from Lincolnshire to the Scottish border.

All survey responses are anonymous, but results are shared with council offices and councillors, with a short report published for the public.
