Aerial view of Beacon Hill farm, showing the route of Mareham Way through the fields. This aerial view is somewhat washed out because it was photographed through the side window of a light aircraft.
General view of Mareham Lane on a sunny day, with a dense hedgerow on the right.
The road crosses a ford just north of Graby. This is an idylic view of the Lincolnshire countryside with the hedgerows and trees in full summer splendour and the Keck in bloom along the road verges.
