Summary
The Belmont 30 is a circular walking route to the west and south of Louth, taking in some of Lincolnshire's finest Wolds views and passing through many small hamlets and villages. Despite the name of the walk, the distance is actually 33 miles, though it can be shortened to 30 miles by taking alternative paths. From the start in Tetford, the walk—when taken on a clockwise course—visits Belchford, Scamblesby, Goulceby, Market Stainton, Donington on Bain, Biscathorpe (the site of the medieval village of Biscathorpe), Burgh on Bain, Wykeham Park, the site of the medieval village of Calcethorpe, Welton le Wold, South Elkington, west Louth, Raithby, the site of the medieval village of Maltby, Tathwell, Orgarth Hill, Maidenwell, Farforth, Ruckland, and Worlaby before returning to Tetford. Part of the Belmont 30 is shared with the Viking Way.
