Spa Trail Stories

Explore the Horncastle to Woodhall Spa railway on foot or by bike (or from the comfort of home) as we mark 50 years since the line closed.


This Story Map was produced by Horncastle History & Heritage Society as part of our plans to mark 50 years since the railway closed 1971-2021. It is based on research by Chris Bates, with design by Ian Marshman.

If you decide to explore the Spa Trail on the ground please ensure you take a map and follow all signs on the route. Cyclists must not use the footpath across the golf course from Sandy Lane to Woodhall Spa and should follow Horncastle Road instead to reach the centre of the resort.
