케톤 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Ride over this lovely bridge in Ketton, heading south, and within a mile you will be tackling the steady climb to Collyweston featured in these pages.

Quit Village with Sandstone Buildings great views & good paths Stamford is a good place to revisit on its own. The river walk was pretty good 👍😊

Ketton Quarry is over a mile wide – its size has to be seen to be believed. The rocks here contain ammonites, corals, brachiopods, bivalves, fish and reptile remains, and much, much more. You won't be able to access the working quarry, but it's worth a look from the viewpoint.

Ketton Quarry is very much still a working limestone site, but the nature reserve covers the parts of the area that have been reclaimed by nature. Grassland, scrub and woodland are making the most of the hills and holes formed by quarrying. This makes it an excellent site for butterflies, moths, wildflowers and reptiles, so this is seen at its best when visited in summer. It is one of the best sites in the area for both Adders and Grass Snakes and also supports a colony of Glow-worms. Some interesting geology has also be uncovered.

The bridge over the Chater, is around 17th century in origin, and was restored in 1849. The nearby church features a Norman arch dating back to 1190.

The bridge crosses the River Welland, at the bottom of Ketton Road / Collyweston hill. It's a great vantage point but a bit narrow, so if you fancy a stop off to take in the view, it's best to dismount and secure your bike off the road by the railings.

Be on the look out for pot holes as well. Got a pinch puncture this morning just after the bridge heading towards Ketton.
