The medieval settlement of Greetwell was established before the 11th century with 20-30 households. Up to the 15th century it was self sufficient in grain and had a dairy, a smithy, bakery, church and priest.
Today, Greetwell flourishes with no village but a congregation from far and wide.
Greetwell is one mile east of Lincoln on the road to Cherry Willingham.
Open: 10-11th May, Saturday 1pm to 4pm • Sunday 1pm to 4pm

The trail is split into three sections to allow for all abilities and so the walk can be split up over a space of time:

The Stephen Langton Trail
A 16.5 mile walking trail from the birthplace of Archbishop Stephen Langton, key in the sealing of Magna Carta, to the historic city of Lincoln.
The Stephen Langton Trail starts at the Lincolnshire village of Langton-by-Wragby, birthplace of Archbishop Stephen Langton, and takes a meandering and picturesuqe 16.5 mile walk to historic Lincoln and Lincoln Castle, home to an original copy of the 1215 Magna Carta.
The trail is split into three sections to allow for all abilities and so the walk can be split up over a space of time:
- Section One leads from Langton-by-Wragby to Apley through the Lincolnshire Limewood Nature Reserve (4 miles)
- Section Two from Thistle Storr Wood near Apley to Fiskerton along the Viking Way (6¼ miles)
- Section Three follows the River Witham Valley from Fiskerton on a delightful riverside walk to Lincoln's Cathedral Quarter (6¼ miles).
