lovely canal bridge, head left along disused section of canal to pick up old railway line towards newark.

currently closed for refurbishment (end of oct 25)

really muddy in October...

If you into war history the memorial at the gliding club is worth checking out, the Viking way itself is part of the 130 mile route which goes right upto the Humber estuary and this section hosts the Viking challenge each year in October when it’s usually very muddy

One of the top 100 climbs. Fairly short and ramps up as you go easing off after the s bend

A welcome stop on any bikeride/hike... The cafe is a popular spot in such an idyllic setting. Good selection of food and drinks!

excellent cycling stop. fantastic food and generous portions. Best carrot cake ever....

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

A nice part of the world though I prefer the parallel, quiet lane on my road bike. Don't forget to stop at the 'Dirty Duck' pub near the lock pictured. Spot the 'sculpture' of the duck on the roof of the pub.

A great route but some sections are extremely muddy but great fun. Toft hill climb is one section that really works legs, slow and steady wins out

diversion off the Grantham canal to miss a section that's closed off. loverly gravel track that makes a nice change to the canal

Beautiful spot great scenery and history Castle grounds definitely worth a visit

Amazing! I wasn't expecting such a castle in the middle of Newark when cycling through.👍 Looks like it would be well worth a visit if you have time.

Regularly explore this end of the Vale of Belvoir lane network and stop at the 'Dirty Duck' pub for lunch. See the duck ornament on the roof and you will understand the name!

The disused Grantham Canal passes through the village and there is a large basin adjacent to the main road. This would have facilitated loading and mooring when the canal was in use. The basin now attracts a substantial population of swans and ducks.

Good in the summer. Not good in the winter.

It's a lot more fun if it has been raining recently

Great descent down to the bridge.

Great gravel

Combine a visit to the castle with a picnic, watching the Trent roll by. There are lots of quiet lanes approaching from the south.
