ウィンソープでののおすすめツーリングルート

currently closed for refurbishment (end of oct 25)

Description of gravel not accurate, at on point you have to cycle around the side of a wheat field, very rutted, also nettles about 3 feet high in places. When you turn of the road on the byway it is blocked across the field with electric fences for the horses. Not a very nice ride.

Back again July 10th 2025 and grass was cut so ride ok!

Grass has been cut recently, ok for gravel/mtb. Fairly smooth but some parts where ground soft had tractor tyre imprint, probably from recent grass cut.

Both these buildings are old the Church dates from the 14th century and the pub from the early 16th century, though some parts are thought to be older. We had a lovely night there, joining in with the Publican's family for a birthday. Just be aware the pub is only open Monday to Thursday from 1600hrs to close and they do, do meals. The room was very comfortable with a small ensuite. Love it all.

Awesome little stop to fuel up on coffee and a cake - also a full cafe menu for more options. Don't forget to visit the giant bike shop next door for bikes and repairs

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 place to grab a coffee and look for a new bike.

Doddington Hall is a fine Elizabethan manor house with walled gardens. It also has a large GIANT bike store on-site, with a very cyclist friendly coffee shop in the store.

Took it the picture on a frosty day. I thought of the poem by John Keats; Eve of St Agnes (which is actually in January). Full of potholes showing a government that doesn't believe in road maintenance.

Be prepared to climb a style and cross 100m of a grass field.

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

Be mindful of walkers when your on your bike, the place is bike friendly and the cafe makes a welcome stop mid tour

Leave your bike outside, its safe, cafe staff are working outside monitoring whilst you go in and grab refreshments

The path in can get sloppy in wet weather

Really pleasant trail to the useful pitstop of Doddington Hall cafe

Elizabethan manor house with Flemish tapestries and walled gardens plus a restaurant, cafe and shop. https://www.doddingtonhall.com/

Just be aware, pedestrian traffic can get dense, also, railway barriers can give lengthy delays

nice little statue and landmark to mark the county borders between Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, point of interest for your tour.
