The Viking Way is a long distance trail in England running 147 miles (237 km) between the Humber Bridge in North Lincolnshire and Oakham in Rutland.

Hedley Lewis was President of the county Ramblers' Association, and a memorial stile was made for him in 1978 on the route at Stenwith, a half-mile north of the Rutland Arms[2] in Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir.

The Countryside Commission recognised the significance of the Viking Way as a high-quality long-distance walk linking other major routes in Eastern England, these being the Yorkshire Wolds Way at the northern end, the Hereward Way and Macmillan Way from Oakham and indirectly via the Hereward Way, the Jurassic Way from Stamford and the southern end of the Peddars Way from Thetford.

The walk passes under the Humber Bridge, then follows the escarpment of the Ancholme Valley over the M180 at the A15 roundabout (Barnetby Top).

It heads north-west through Stixwould, Southrey, Bardney, Stainfield, before reaching Fiskerton where it follows the south side of the River Witham towards Lincoln due west.

It runs parallel to the A607 to the west of Bracebridge Heath and through Waddington, Harmston, Coleby, Boothby Graffoe, Navenby and Wellingore along the Lincoln Cliff, then follows the old Ermine Street, crossing the A607.

It meets the A607 again at Carlton Scroop, then crosses the River Witham and passes through Marston and Long Bennington.
