Fantastic cafe, make it part of your route.

Lovely coffee and cake. Dog friendly.

Lovely traffic free cut through

Lovely stretch of road to ride with a Westerly.

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

Good for cycling, low number of cars.

Cyclist friendly, loads of outdoor space out back. Good beer and pizza too.

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

Excellent cafe for cyclists

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.

Great little spot to rest the legs. Has a bin and view over to Dorrington church. Road itself shadows much busier roads so great to get a head and avoid the speeding masses 😬

A timber-framed barn was given to the Quakers in 1701 by Thomas Robinson and almost completely rebuilt in stone to serve as the meeting house. A cottage attached to the south end was later converted to provide a ground floor room with a women's room in a loft above.

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

Hexgreave estate was a farm but has been converted into a modern living and working estate with homes and office space available. It's beautiful and well managed with parkland and some nice old buildings. There is also a café as part of the estate, a good stop for a coffee or snack. The café is open Mon to Fri 8:30 - 15:00. The estate grounds are private but the main road through the estate is a bridleway so cycling is permitted. This make a nice route with very few cars but a good surface. There are a few gates to stop cars.

Newark Castle ruins are set in lovely, formal gardens bordered by the remaining walls of the castle which was partly destroyed in 1646 at the end of the English Civil War.

Sleaford is a scenic market town, situated on the River Slea and Sleaford Canal and surrounded by flat fenland.

Beautiful quiet lane going through the estate.
