ハットフィールドムーアズのおすすめツーリングルート

A good route from the junction of Gt North Rd/Hurst Lane across to Hayfield Fishing Lakes

This is the joint of the Trent and a marina with a lock protecting the Chesterfield canal. This is my commencement point to complete a cycle of the whole Chesterfield canal top to toe.

Do a wheelie

Liftbridge over the New Junction Canal. Sykehouse village is about a mile to the east.

Great cafe at the airfield. Good spot for a coffee stop

There has been a Christian church on this site since at least 633 AD, as recorded by the Veneral Bede who mentioned that there was a church and a priest during the time of the Battle of Hatfield in that same year. The current stone built Norman church dates back to around 1150 AD.

All Saints Church in Belton is a parish church which has served the community since at least the 12th century. The first record of the church dates from 1145 when Roger de Mowbray granted the church of Belton to Newburgh Priory, an Augustinian house he had founded between 1142 and 1143.

Lying within the parish of Cantley-with-Branton, Black Carr Plantation is a 20 hectare woodland largely created two hundred years ago as part of a 7000 acre estate. Ghost hunters will be interested to know that the plantation was once known locally as Wailing Wood. The name is linked with a tale still told by local people of a carriage which overturned in fog on Warning Tongue Lane many years ago. Several travellers were killed. One of the dead - a woman - is said to haunt the woodland on foggy nights, even to this day.
