Located on the South West edge of Louth this beautiful ravine and riverside walk is stunning at any time of year. It is busy with local families and children playing in the cool water of the river Lud during any hot summer but it is out of season when it comes into its own.

During Autumn the trees are glowing in reds and browns and gold’s and in winter the area is a haven for birds. Indeed there is a sign here which says “Please feed the birds”.
Every season brings a fresh look to the hills and when covered in snow they become Louth’s biggest attraction.

Louth museum opened on the 3rd March 2006 and is on situated on Broadbank.

The museum has been several years in the making and is a far cry from many stuffy Victorian town museums.

The museum has had a considerable amount of time and money spent refurbishing and extending it and is now a museum the town is proud of.

Whilst the museum is small it will still entertain the visitor for an hour or so especially with its impressive display of Browns Panoramic. The panoramic was painted in 1840 by William Brown who was a house painter and reporter and he took the opportunity to paint the views from the scaffolding around St James Church Spire during some restoration work.

Also featured are a working printing press, artifacts from Roman and Medieval period and many items associated with the Georgian and Victorian period.

Of particular interest is the wonderful architecture of this quirky Edwardian building including the internal balustrade and the fine display featuring the 1920s flood disaster.

Cadwell Park is one of British motorsport’s best-kept secrets, despite the fact it has hosted car, bike and kart races since its creation.

1934 saw the first circuit used at Cadwell Park. The corners of Charlies, Chris and Mansfield all celebrate the founders in the Wilkinson family.

For 1952, the circuit was extended to one and a quarter miles with the addition of Mansfield Corner. Some of the motorcycle meetings also featured Formula 3 races.

However, regular car meetings didn’t take place until May 1962, after Charles Wilkinson purchased some adjoining land and extended the circuit length to 2.176 mile/ 3.49 km. Cadwell Park is currently part of the Brands Hatch Leisure group.

A combination of long fast curves and some very tricky tight bends, hills with a nasty hairpin. The track can be split into two main sections, the section from Coppice through to Chris Curve (Club Circuit) is fairly simple but the section from Gooseneck through to Barn requires a lot of concentration, a lot of accidents occur at this section.

As well as the VSCC’s annual visit in June and the Radical Festival in August, Cadwell’s highlight of the season will be the British Superbike meeting on the August Bank Holiday weekend. This is when the circuit’s true character comes out. Car or bike, Cadwell sorts the men from the boys.
