The path beside the Fossdyke has at one end the Brayford pool in Lincoln with pubs, restaurants and cinema. The route continues past the Pyewipe Inn, Beyond that is Burton Waters with the very popular Woodcocks. Further on is the village of Saxilby with its railway station.

narrow path here alongside a very busy main road - barriers either side though.

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.

This place is really in the middle of nowhere, it's at the junction of Thornhill Lane and Littleborough Road. It can't be missed because there's nutting else there. What makes it special is its unique six sided shape. Definitely a place of note and worth a photo.

I believe this used to be a coal power station that was decommissioned in 2019. The cooling towers are quite impressive, and the wide gravel track passes very close to them.

Torksey Viaduct is closed. I was there on Friday 7th March 2025 and I ended up cycling south on A road to Dunham Bridge and back north to rejoin the route (Lincoln Gravel Imp). The viaduct may reopen in the future if a new leaseholder is found. Here is some info I found about the closure railwaypaths.org.uk/category/latest-news

The viaduct creates a link between Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. The structure offers fantastic views of the ruined Torksey Castle.

St Peter's dates from the 12th century with later extensions, have an interesting font with a Spode font basin that was installed in 1814 and the front of the altar is formed from the tomb stone of the last abbess of Torksey. In the 7th century St Paulinus baptised a great multitude of people in the river near Torksey, in the presence of King Edwin. At the time of the Domesday Book there were 3000 people living here and of all the settlements in Lincolnshire, only Lincoln and Stamford were larger. In the Middle Ages as well as St Peter's, there were two other parish churches in Torksey, All Saints & St Mary's and two monasteries, a house of Augustinian Canons and the priory of Foss for Cistercian nuns. The settlement has shrunk to a quarter of its former size and all that is now left of this rich ecclesiastical heritage is St Peter's church.

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. The Fossdyke Navigation Canal was originally dug in Roman times but was re-opened during the reign of James I. The lock controls the outfall to the River Trent.

A great place to access this cycle route is the Park & Bike parking in Skellingthorpe.

The cycle track along the A46 is very narrow and can be difficult to manage.

great place for some snap!

take a chance, either way equals adventure

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

Great views of the 'back' of Lincoln Cathedral, one of the finest in the country. There is also a statue in the grounds of Alfred Lord Tennyson, the British Poet Laureate, who was born not far from the Lincoln. Definitely worth while to explore every angle of the Cathedral and the grounds.

A railway bridge built in 1849 and designed by John Fowler. This is one of the earliest box girder bridges and is a rare survival.

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

Bardney lock is located on the River Witham about 11 miles to the East of Lincoln. The River Witham flows through the peaceful Lincolnshire countryside and is has beautiful views with a remote feeling for much of its length. The flat marshy fenlands stretch out on either side of the river allowing spectacular sunsets to be seen.
