ノースレバートンウィズハブレスソープのおすすめツーリングルート

Bank side ride of River Idle to Tiln. Grassed hard pan wheel tracks in the summer. Gates to lift over at beginning and end.

Relic from the past, bridge over the River Idle. Formerly allowing heavy machinery access to the old gravel pits. Just off the footpath, the bridge now ends in a field, but nice elevated views up & down the river.

"Off-Road" dusty (in summer) gravel road, accessible by car and wide enough to park on. Cuts across the middle of the Nature Reserve giving access to the heart of it.

Potholed gravel byway

This reserve consists of a beautiful 450ha network of lakes, wetland, grassland and scrub. It is home to a diverse range of wildlife and is recognised as one of the richest birding sites in the region. Look out for birds such as gadwall and little grebe in winter and breeding wading birds including little ringed plover and redshank in spring and summer. The Idle Valley Rural Learning Centre is a high quality educational facility based at the south end of the site and is a venue for a range of training courses and events.

Lovely little spot beside the Trent, Coffee or lunch.
