ファーンズフィールドのおすすめツーリングルート

There is a sign at the entrance saying "private road", but it seems to be part of the National Cycle Network 6, and no problem riding to pass through.

Lovely traditional pub selling award winning real ales set in a fab converted old railway station/platform. Lots of character, very well maintained, loads of seating outdoors under the “railway platforms”, and lots of old train memorabilia!

Boundary Wood is a lovely gravel section of NCN 6 that cuts through an 85-hectare (210 acres) woodland near Blidworth, managed by Forestry England. It features a mix of young broadleaf trees, conifers, wildflower meadows and a small pond. It’s a great spot for year-round wildlife watching.

Nice view of the river while having a drink !

Blue route about 9 miles excellent ride with a couple of challenging sectìns

Arguably the best mtb section in the whole of Sherwood Pines!

Great fun but not too challenging

The first mention of Farnsfield emerges in 956AD in a document in which King Edwy of Northumbria gave the Danish Archbishop of York, Oscytel, the manor of Southwell, which included the farmstead of Farnsfield. Farnsfield was a small community of farmsteads scraping a living from agriculture in a clearing at the edge of Sherwood Forest. By 1520 Farnsfield was the responsibility of Southwell Minster under the Archbishop of York, Cardinal Wolsey. Most people were farmers and poor land, bad weather, disease and starvation were constant hazards. By the 1600s more specialised trades were developing in Farnsfield including bakers, tailors and shoemakers. By the late 1700s sheep rearing was the main source of income from outside.
