A super handy section of disused railway that links Route 6 in Sherwood Pines with the Southwell Trail. It runs for a number of pan-flat kilometres, making it the ultimate gravel grind on cruise control.

A super handy 4km stretch of disused railway that links Sherwood Pines with Bilsthorpe, taking you directly from Route 6 in Pines to the Southwell Trail. Beautiful, flat, narrow track with overhanging trees, it feels like you're framed in nature.
