England Coast Path - Skegness to Mablethorpe

Lincolnshire

Encompassing the tourist hotspot of Skegness, wild sand dunes and the world?s first official cloud spotting area, Lincolnshire?s first open stretch of the England Coast Path will enable people to explore the route?s natural and diverse wildlife that have made the area their home. Home to a long-established coastal tourism industry, the new Lincolnshire route will benefit from improved access and signposting to allow visitors and locals alike to enjoy the diversity of the coast, with a new boardwalk at Chapel Point improving access to the North Sea Observatory.

This section was fully opened for public use on 27 February 2019 by order of the Secretary of State.

The new route takes into account the area?s important coastal habitats, including the seascapes and unique habitats of Anderby Marsh, Chapel Pit and Wolla Bank Reedbed. Walkers will be able to enjoy the adjacent sand dunes, clay pits and beaches, where a range of bird species such as the bearded tit and reed bunting thrive. Users will also enjoy views of Woola Bank Site of Scientific Special Interest (SSSI) at very low tides ? a submerged forest dating from the Neolithic Period ? and access to the world?s first official cloud spotting area at the Anderby Creek Cloud Bar.
