ビンガム周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

ドゥームズデイ・ブックには、1086年にコルウィックに教会と司祭がいたことが記録されています。現在廃墟となっている教会は、16世紀にジョン・バイロン卿によって大部分が建てられましたが、それ以前の教会の14世紀と15世紀の部分が組み込まれています。当時の建物はおそらく、平らな塔ではなく尖塔を持っていたでしょう。 1912年までに、教会の屋根は劣悪な状態でした。修理によって建物は数年間再び使用可能になりましたが、教会の状態は悪化し続け、1920年までに冬の間は一部の礼拝がスクールルームで行われ、その後新しく建てられた教区会館で行われるようになりました。1923年からは、教区会館でいくつかの結婚式が行われました。 1924年3月、雨どいが修理され、壁が目地されました。屋根は再び修理されましたが、その状態は懸念事項であり続け、1933年に教会は危険なため放棄されました。1936年3月に安全でないとして最終的に閉鎖され、1936年11月には屋根の主要な梁が崩壊しました。

A Local Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire The Netherfield Lagoons, Local Nature Reserve is situated on the Trent Valley Flood Plain in Nottinghamshire and has been partly used as a dump for coal slurry but with two remaining gravel ponds. The two slurry pits are separated by a raised causeway, which is elevated some 50 feet (15 m) above the pits, giving a commanding view of the area. The largest tank is virtually full but retains some water, with muddy edges attractive to waders and roosting gulls and terns. The smaller tank is mainly deep water, attracting good numbers of wildfowl, with smaller birds, especially warblers, feeding and breeding around the tank edges. The site consists roughly of three compartments, the Slurry Lagoon, the Deep Pit and the two Gravel Pits. (source: https://www.gedlingconservationtrust.org/netherfield-lagoons/)

The now derelict St John the Baptist Church was built by Sir John Byron in the 16th century, incorporating 14th and 15th century sections from an earlier church. It was restored again in 1684 by Sir John Musters and was in use until the mid-1930s when it was no longer repaired, the nave roof collapsed and it was abandoned as dangerous and left to ruin. source: https://travellerj.com/2018/12/18/ruins-of-st-johns-church/

Good roads that circle the castle, can use them to make a good route for the family, a bit lumpy but enjoyable and the roads are fairly quiet.

Not far away from 'fantastic cafe serving excellent coffe and cake' featured in a recent komoot posting. This road provides a relatively easy route SW overlooking the Vale. At its southern end, ride through Eastwell and take the steep descent of Waltham Lane to Harby. You can then return along flat roads, finally to climb back up to Belvoir and the cafe and carpark.

Bike parking, plenty of space, its surprising who you bump into when your sat refueling! Cakes and sausage sandwiches are great ( They do other things that look good but I'm a simple man) and I always enjoy the coffee.

They provide lots of bike parking and can even supply locks should you forget yours. The food and drink is awesome too (their bacon rolls rock).

Great food with a great setting, well worth a visit because I really can’t fault the place!
