スタートン・ル・スティープル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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 https://www.railwaypaths.org.uk/category/latest-news/

With steps at one end you'll have to carry the bike but with no other way to cross the river for miles you may not have much choice

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.

The strange name reputedly originated when a woman baked a huge pie one Whitsunday for navvies digging the canal ..... however, recently discovered maps show a local field called Whitsunday Pie Field that pre-dates the canal.

Not designed for bikes with thin gates but the bike can be turned vertical.

Once you've navigated along the winding footpath beside the river you'll have to climb a set of steep steps up to the viaduct in order to cross

To give it its Sunday name it's the King George VI Coronation Park. A lovely green space close to the centre of Retford town, Nottinghamshire.
