A memorial located in Watchwood Plantation, Calverton, honours the memory of three Polish airmen who perished in a crash there. On October 13, 1940, a Polish air crew from the 300 Mosovian Squadron, who were fighting for the Allies, were returning to their UK base at RAF Swinderby. After a successful bombing mission, their damaged "Fairey Battle" aircraft came down in Calverton, resulting in the instant deaths of the three men. The memorial commemorates pilot Flight Lieutenant Jan Gebicki, rear gunner Sergeant Edward Morawa, and wireless operator Sergeant Tadeusz Egierski.

St Peter & St Paul's Church dates from the 12th century and is grade 1 listed. It's a serving Church of England church in the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham.

Oxtons a small village, the church is probably the biggest building there is. There is a pup where people were grouping in the evening as I rode past.

It's a very special place to visit on the route.

The route back in rainy weather is deep in mud and water wellies needed that’s how deep it was

Features now restored in the middle of the wood, including small gap-jumps with chicken line, flowing great (April 2022).

Muddy so bring appropriate footwear.

Unfortunately the Forestry Commission have been into Watchwood and removed all the man-made features (jumps) from the downhill runs. However the trails are still rideable & fun, plenty of berms still in place. (July 2021)
