This Spy Trail involves a drive of approximately 5 miles, two walks totalling about 2.5 miles, and will last around 2.5 hours. Although this has been designed as a car driving Trail, it could easily be used as a cycling Trail. If cycling, please note that the route between the two villages is along the A163, which can be quite busy at times.
There is a long walk up a steep hill to the church in Holme on Spalding Moor, through a field, towards the end of the Trail. Therefore, it is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs. Appropriate footwear is advisable.
