Gunthorpe Lock and Weir

Hoveringham Lancaster Aircrew Memorial
Highlight • Viewpoint
The River Trent flows close to Hoveringham Road, this is a great place for a break to take in the views. If you don't mind a bit of gravel, the Trent Valley Way follows a bridleway along the bank here.
Tip by
Upper Saxondale to Shelford Quiet Lane
Highlight • Cycleway
I often use this lane going from south of Upper Saxondale to Shelford then Gunthorpe. Once over the A52, it is a very quiet lane and delivers you to the Trent bridge with a minimum of traffic.

The Old Forge
Highlight • Historical Site
This fine old blacksmiths forge dates back to 1845 and has a horseshoe surrounding the entrance. It's a Grade II listed building.
Tip by
Whatton Lane
