On Thursday 7th May we went on a long walk (10 miles/16K). Leaving school we walked across the South Common to the top and from there I took the photograph of Lincoln Cathedral which stands high on the hill overlooking the city. Our walk took us along the Viking Way (The Viking Way is a long distance footpath in England running 147 miles (237 km) between the Humber Bridge in north Lincolnshire and Oakham in Rutland). Can you see the view of Lincolnshire from the Viking Way, the Power Station in the distance is close to the county of Nottinghamshire to the west. The yellow in the field is oilrape seed crop, we have many many fields of this in Lincolnshire.
This seems great! Is the Viking way named after our Danish "friends" who invaded our countries?

I believe it is Ann, this is what I have copied from Wikipedia
ReplyDeleteMany pre-historic settlements were established on dry ground in the Lincolnshire Wolds and on the Limestone Heath. Sites of early settlements will be passed on the route. From the 9th century there is evidence that the Vikings were exercising their influence over the county. This is evident in the place names (ending in “by”), Scandinavian names recorded in documents and also names marked on coins.
They got everywhere, no-one was safe.
"They got everywhere, no-one was safe" is my comment not Wikipedia
