Very rideable section, no rust. Hard pan in a dry spell.

Lovely pub and wonderful fresh carvery at affordable price. Ideal stopover on a cycle trip.

Gainsborough Old Hall in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire is over five hundred years old and one of the best preserved medieval manor houses in England. The hall was built by Sir Thomas Burgh in 1460. The Burghs were rich, flamboyant and powerful. Gainsborough Old Hall was not only their home, but also a demonstration of their wealth and importance. Burgh was a benefactor to Newark Church and also the founder of the Chantry and Alms House at Gainsborough. In 1470, the manor was attacked by Sir Robert Welles over a clash about lands, status, and honour, but it was not severely damaged. In 1484 Thomas entertained King Richard III in his hall. Henry VIII visited Gainsborough twice: once in 1509, and again in 1541 with his fifth wife, Queen Catherine Howard. The Queen was accused of indiscretions both at Gainsborough and Lincoln, and she was later executed.

A Georgian style church with medieval tower and a magnificent interior, the altar piece is a copy of the Da Vinci painting of the Last Supper. The first reference to a church in Gainsborough was in 1180 when it was given by Roger de Talbot, Lord of the Manor of Gainsborough to the Knights Templar of Willoughton. However, by 1730 this church was considered 'too dark and mean and incommodious' to suit the town's growing population and the decision was made to build a new church. Only the 15th century tower remains from the original medieval church.

Owlet Wood car park - maintained by woodland trust. Nice small woodland area, doesn’t get too busy really boggy in areas however this can be avoided, most of the paths are clean and would be suitable for buggies etc.

Gainsborough Old Hall is something of a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered in Gainsborough. Built in 1460, it is one of the largest and best preserved medieval manor houses in the country. Famous guests included Richard III and Henry VIII. An on-site café serves freshly prepared food and you can enjoy a house tour and a stroll around the gardens and grounds.

Blyton Ice Creams are a family-run business and at the last count were offering over 70 different flavours from their ice-cream parlour. How many can you try in one sitting?

I did not find this place, but there is a lovely cake shop called Taran's nut free kitchen in the same location which has delicious home made cakes.

Telephone box at the side of the road. Change the theme regularly.

Nice riverside pub with outside seating.

Part of the ride is along the banks of the River Trent. Quiet roads and peaceful.

Gainsborough Town is full of history and definitely worth stopping off at if you have the time. More info about the town: https://www.discovergainsborough.com/visit/ We didn't see the town on this trip and didn't want to go into the town centre so The Trent Port was a great lunch stop for us. Right on our route and food ok. And if like us you find you have a flat tyre, there is plenty of room to fix it.

nice road next to the river trent, if you want to see it you have to stop and climb up a steep nettle lined bank. Lots of pubs with riverside beer gardens though!

Lots of places for a picnic, although there isnt much of a view while riding. there are steep embankments next to the river. Presumable to stop flooding.

I cycled all the way here from sheffield to take in some of the delightful forrest trails, but i had a slow puncture that wouldnt seal on my tubless set up so i stuck to the road. As i was flying through i could see there was an extensive trail network which is crying out to be explored.

AWESOME cafe/restaurant id recomend to anyone
