A rolling chalk-Wolds road past Cadwell Park.
The A153 winds from Horncastle across the Lincolnshire Wolds to Louth, rolling over chalk hills and dropping past the Cadwell Park racing circuit, a rare stretch of proper driving country in the flat east of England. Watch for fast blind crests and dips, motorcyclists heading to Cadwell, and farm traffic on the lanes.
