ピルハム周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ5

ウォーピング・ドレイン（Warping Drain）の近く、イースト・ラウド（East Lound）とヘイクセイ（Haxey）の間にある素敵な小さな橋です。この地域にはあまり見どころがないため、この橋はハイライトです。アクスホルム島（Isle of Axholme）を横切る、長く平坦な田舎道や農道が何マイルも続いています。橋のところでは、水辺に集まる白鳥、アヒル、その他様々な野鳥をよく見かけます。片側には牛のいる牧草地があり、牛はこのドレインを水飲み場として利用しています。私はこの辺りを走るときはいつもここで立ち止まり、周囲の田園風景を眺めます。非常に平和で静かな場所です。次にこの地域に来る機会があれば、ぜひ試してみてください。

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.

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.

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.
