lovely canal bridge, head left along disused section of canal to pick up old railway line towards newark.

A great route but some sections are extremely muddy but great fun. Toft hill climb is one section that really works legs, slow and steady wins out

Regularly explore this end of the Vale of Belvoir lane network and stop at the 'Dirty Duck' pub for lunch. See the duck ornament on the roof and you will understand the name!

Ruts with water. You may have to walk some of this section of the trail.

Great descent down to the bridge.

Beautiful quiet path running through Ancaster valley. Keep your eyes peeled for the rich variety of wildlife that lives in the area.

The Church of St Nicholas dates back to the 12th century and is Grade I-listed. The church windows have some beautifully ornate stained glass windows from the 1800s. Inside there is a wonderful mixture of monuments and objects from the 17th and 18th centuries.

You will find Woolsthorpe Lock on the end of the fabulously named Dirty Duck Lane. The bridge over the Grantham Canal provides a fantastic viewpoint to take in a rest from your ride, as does the nearby Rutland Arms pub on Woolsthorpe Wharf. There is a good quality gravel towpath alongside the canal.
