Travelling East, the Fossdyke Canal Trail begins (or ends if you're travelling West!) at Saxilby. This traffic free path follows what is most likely the oldest canal in England that is still in use, thought to have been built around 120AD by the Romans.

The road is parallel to the trail on the opposite bank for a short distance before heading South-East to Skellingthorpe.
