Beacon Hill at Gringley on the Hill provides fine views to the north and north-east across to the Trent Valley and on a clear day Lincoln Cathedral can be seen. To the north, there is no land higher than 30 feet between here and the Yorkshire Wolds. It was a prehistoric hill fortress and in the Civil War, Prince Rupert is said to have camped here before proceeding to relieve Newark.

In this view, Walkeringham Road snakes in the middle distance. Although the clouds in the distance looked threatening, the rain in this area at least held off.
