    Initially a great cycle path alongside the road, though (encouragingly) quite busy with families cycling, so not the speediest route. It then turns off to follow the waters edge, beautiful, but the surface turns to various gravel, grass, wooded track as well as occasional paved parts. Again, perfect for families exploring, less so for a road ride, although admittedly I got through ok on 23mm tyres in summer, just took a lot longer to get to the cafe!

      Very popular cycle route. Gets busy with cyclists and walkers, especially at weekends.

        Not really the place to be on a road bike. Gravel and dirt surfaces not suitable for road slicks! And too many dog walkers and other bikes. A bit too uneven and busy. Try to avoid. I bailed and continued on the road. The north side is a busy road, but the Eastern end of the water from Empingham along the south side (keep to the road) to Manton is a quiet country lane. Worth diverting to see Normanton Church.
