Only open since October 2024 this family run Farm shop is relatively new it is however perfectly situated on the quiet lanes used by many many cyclists between Bawtry and Misterton. All local produce and home made. Great seating area outside on the drive that's a natural sun trap. This area has desperately needed a good place where we cyclists can stop off and get some wholesome refreshments. The family that run it are very welcoming and will even prepare food for groups if you call in advance and pre-order. Give it a go I'm sure you'll be happy.

Worth stopping for these beautiful murals by Phoebe Traquair

Britain's greatest male professional cyclist until recently. A tragic story and lovely to see his grave so well kept. See also the memorial stone nearby.

Easy stroll around fishing lakes, and back to Farm shop and Cafe

Haxey Church and Parish are over 900 years old. The Church of St Nicholas is a prominent landmark and visible from most of the parish. It was founded in the 12th century by the Earl of Mowbray, the then Lord of the Manor but little can be seen of the original structure, the church has been changed and remodelled several times since then. It was first extended in about 1200 A.D., but the great transformation of this Norman church into the Perpendicular style of architecture took place in about the middle of the 14th century and into the 15th century, including the new tower, 90 feet high, which was built in the 15th century.

As a centre for culture and heritage, Epworth is rich in traditions and history. Lining the pretty town centre are quaint shops and places to eat, all worth visiting. You can explore St Andrew’s Church or Epworth Old Rectory and learn all about the founders of world Methodism, John and Charles Wesley.

A really nice tranquil place to stop off for a break in nice surroundings. The fishing lakes and surrounding lush countryside are simply gorgeous.

Lying within the parish of Cantley-with-Branton, Black Carr Plantation is a 20 hectare woodland largely created two hundred years ago as part of a 7000 acre estate. Ghost hunters will be interested to know that the plantation was once known locally as Wailing Wood. The name is linked with a tale still told by local people of a carriage which overturned in fog on Warning Tongue Lane many years ago. Several travellers were killed. One of the dead - a woman - is said to haunt the woodland on foggy nights, even to this day.
