The Viking Way is a 149-mile walking route through Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Rutland. It opened in 1976 and its name recognises the influence of the Norse invaders on the east of Britain. The route is waymarked with a Viking helmet on a yellow disc. 2026 marks its 50th anniversary.

The Way passes through a wide variety of landscapes: the banks of the River Humber, the rolling chalk hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds, historic market towns such as Caistor, Horncastle and Woodhall Spa, and the city of Lincoln, where it passes the cathedral and castle and descends the famous Steep Hill. It follows the Lincoln Cliff escarpment with its expansive views, then the Witham Valley, fenland, woodlands and quiet villages, and the countryside of South Lincolnshire before finishing at Oakham in Rutland, where it links with the Macmillan Way and the Hereward Way.

The Way is promoted by Lincolnshire County Council on the Visit Lincolnshire website.
