ソーンムーアズのおすすめツーリングルート

Godnow Bridge railway station was a small railway station on the line between Doncaster and Keadby. Now it is a great little bridge to cross over the Stainforth and Keadby canal.

Crowle is a small market town next to the Stainforth and Keadby Canal. It's a quaint place and has a parish church that contains the Crowle Stone runic cross shaft along with a striking Gothic revival market hall.

The Stainforth and Keadby Canal links the river Don near Bramwith to the River Trent at Keadby. It was authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1793 and eventually opened in 1802. There are only three locks on the canal, one at each end and this one at Thorne.

St Nicholas Church is a beautiful historic church and is a Grade I Listed building dating back to the 12th Century. The Nave of the church was built in the 12th Century, the South Aisle in the 14th Century and the South Porch in the 15th Century. A beautiful example of a post Norman medieval church.

The Isle of Axholme Greenway runs between Scunthorpe in the east and Thorne in the west and is 22.4km long in its entirety. The route uses existing industrial infrastructure such as here where it runs next to the canal.

We picked this up just outside Thorne and rode all the way to Keadby, just outside Scunthorpe. Made a nice traffic-free change to riding on the flat, straight roads (which aren't very exciting). It's a good-quality gravel track that forms part of the Isle Greenway cycle route.

Great gravel next to the canal, i had a headwind going west.
