As you approach this quaint little spot, you may think you've got to wade through a ford! but there's a bridge to the side where you get a nice view of the old brick buildings with the beck running underneath. Very nice, surprising location!

This fine old blacksmiths forge dates back to 1845 and has a horseshoe surrounding the entrance. It's a Grade II listed building.

The River Trent flows close to Hoveringham Road, this is a great place for a break to take in the views. If you don't mind a bit of gravel, the Trent Valley Way follows a bridleway along the bank here.

A big roomy pup and grill, the Magna Charta has a big car park, it is easy to access from the main road. It looks like it will get busy serving meals

This is a nice bridge and surrounding area to cross over. The fella in the house before crossing was talkative and friendly. Maybe he was wondering why I stopped outside of his garage area, where he was working, to take a photo

My favourite stretch when cycling on the quiet lanes from Newark to Gunthorpe on the north side of the river. There is also an enjoyable riverside walk to this point from the car-park at Gunthorpe, past the locks and weir.

Dated 1845, with its fine horseshoe surround to the main entrance, Listed Grade II.
