Cyclists passing the Curly Coat Pigs
The "Water Rail Way" is a cycle- and foot-path from Lincoln to Boston which forms part of National Cycle Network route 1 and here follows the old railway embankment on the north side of the River Witham.

Along the way are a number of sculptures and other artworks. These are the "Curly Coat Pigs" by Nigel Sardeson. The Lincolnshire Curly Coat pig was a breed of pig that became extinct in 1972. The few photographs that show the breed show a fat, heavy, woolly pig unlike the breeds of today.
