The Boston area is blessed with beautiful fenland countryside, open skies, historic buildings, unspoilt coastlines and nature reserves of national importance. 

Medieval Boston was a prosperous port town and the legacy of this international trading status is still to be seen in the narrow, meandering alleyways of the town's historic street layout and in mighty religious and secular buildings such as St Botolph's, the Guildhall Museum (where the Pilgrim Fathers were imprisoned) and Blackfriar's Theatre. On the town's doorstep, however, are the Lincolnshire Fens, drained in the 18th and 19th centuries to create fertile agricultural land. Small scattered villages and hamlets retain their distinctive Fens architecture, particularly in their churches, many of which are medieval and Grade I listed. The big skies and open panoramas of Lincolnshire are particularly evident to the north east of the town, where the low-lying fen terminates at the Wash in the wilderness of Freiston Shore - once a tourist resort and now an acclaimed nature reserve. 

Those local to the area and interested in walking with others may like to join The Beonna's weekly health walk - part of Boston Community Health Walks (which offer 12 different walking groups each week in and around Boston). At The Beonna we walk on Tuesdays afternoons (starting 2 April 2019), finishing with a coffee afterwards. Health walks in the same scheme also run in nearby Butterwick on Wednesdays and Old Leake on Fridays, both starting at 1.30pm.

Others, looking for longer walks or to venture further afield, may like to join the Boston branch of the Ramblers Association. This group walks both in the Boston area and in Lincolnshire more widely. Its programme includes fortnightly Sunday walks of 12-15 km, summer Wednesday evening walks of 6-8 km and autumn-spring fortnightly daytime walks of a similar length. Members also organise weekend holidays.
