| The directions
for the walk are as follows: |
 |
From the Library parking,
walk up towards the cemetery and turn right
on the small road lined with the white houses |
|
Just after the right curve
in the descent, walk into the field on your
left – there is a small "no Bike"
sign. Follow the faint path ahead along
the tree line and you will soon pass the
vineyard; there are great views on this
small valley and on the fields below |
|
When you reach a wooden sign
for "Conservation Land – Lincoln",
turn left and climb up, following the tree
line, before you enter the woods at the
far end of the meadow |
|
Take the trail on the right
at the first intersection, and again on
the right at the following fork. You will
soon exit the woods after a short descent
to reenter the meadow at its far end |
|
Follow the tree line on the
left to complete the tour of the field,
and take the large trail on the left leading
to Lexington Street (no sign) |
|
At the road, take right to
walk back to Lincoln. This is one of the
most picturesque roads around Boston, with
great vistas on the fields nearby and a
line of trees on the right side to bring
a welcome shade in the summer. Though traffic
is limited on this narrow country road,
there is no sidewalk and you will need to
watch for cars. The general rule is to face
incoming traffic to look out for vehicles,
but visibility is limited in the left curve
after the farm, and you may want to walk
on the right side until the road straightens
|
|
At the next intersection,
turn right on the narrow road to walk back
up to Lincoln and back to your car. |
