This isn’t north scarle

Great cycle route along the old railway line, with old station platforms hinting to its past.

An excellent cafe stop before or after visiting the historic castle which is not far from here.

The River Trent flows close to Hoveringham Road, this is a great place for a break to take in the views. If you don't mind a bit of gravel, the Trent Valley Way follows a bridleway along the bank here.

Speedy straight section, great for chain gangs. Keep an eye out for SW wind then get out and smash it back to Farndon.

Nice little climb. Good for benchmarking or friendly battle with friends. Not too long and has a sting in the tail. 99% car free.

Sweet little back road from Gunthorpe bridge to East Bridgford. Traffic free to the west, access only at the eastern end, so very quiet. Great way of avoiding the main road. Watch out for flooding after heavy rain though, as the bottom end is at water level. Tip: keep a gear ready for the last bit where it ramps up suddenly.
