Lincoln

About

Lincoln ward encompasses a primarily rural expanse in the northern section of Breckland district. The landscape is characterised by agricultural land, scattered woodland, and the distinctive, sandy soil of the Brecks. Settlement is focused around several small villages, including North and South Pickenham, creating a quiet, dispersed community. The area's history is deeply tied to farming and forestry, shaping its open and tranquil character.

A notable historical feature is the substantial earthworks of a medieval motte and bailey castle situated near South Pickenham. The ward is crossed by the ancient Peddars Way long-distance trail, which follows a Roman road through this heathland terrain. This path provides a direct link to the area's past, traversing a landscape that feels removed from more developed parts of Norfolk.
