Torksey Lock is a canal lock on the Fossdyke Navigation Canal near Lincoln, England. It's a popular spot for leisure craft, wildlife watching, and walking.

Dating from 1772, it supplied the sorts of exotic and unusual foods that the Dukes could impress their guests with. From asparagus to pineapples and strawberries at Christmas, this was an elite garden for an elite family. In its prime, the gardens would have provided employment for 30 people and had 6-acres under cultivation including a huge, heated Melon Yard and an orchard, which was re-established just outside the garden walls in 2021. At 451 feet, Clumber Park boasts the longest Glasshouse in National Trust care. It was installed by the 7th Duke of Newcastle and completed in 1910. By the 1970s it was derelict but the Trust has spent decades restoring it, most recently in 2023. Today, it boasts seasonal displays in its huge conservatory, an exotically planted Palm House and bays of grapes, figs, and peaches. Some of the utility rooms now serve as a museum displaying an extensive collection of gardening tools. The Apple Store and the Gardener's Mess have ever-changing displays.

Honestly not much to see but may be of interest to Robin Hood fans. Robin Hood's Cave near Ollerton is situated on a bend in the River Maun north of the village it consists of an outcrop of Sherwood Sandstone which Robin Hood reputedly used as one of his many hideaways. The river at this point, and the 'cave' are only a few yards from the route of the King's Highway to York which formed the eastern boundary of Sherwood Forest from the 13th century. This was the main routeway through Sherwood Forest from Nottingham to York. The location would therefore have been a great ambush site.
