Linking the two 'burghs' of the ancient Viking Danelaw, Lincoln and Stamford, the route passes through peaceful Lincolnshire countryside, via Ancaster and Corby Glen, then straying briefly into Rutland for a section associated with John Clare the poet. The walk was designed as five stages of between 9 and 14 miles and there are minor variants, with the total distance ranging from 56.5-61.5 miles and including a short circular route option from Ryhall. The route has been developed by Lincoln Ramblers Group but its originator, Brett Collier MBE, a tireless local footpaths campaigner, passed away in 2005. With this Way their wish for a linear route ending in Stamford was achieved, as the Viking Way which passes through Lincoln ends in Oakham, rather than Stamford as originally envisaged.
