The second oldest sheep wash bridge in the Uk

An unusual survivor, with extensive construction, thought to be the second-oldest surviving in Britain, dating from the late 17th century. Sheep washing was performed in early summer to clean the winter accumulation of grease, etc., in the fleece, and pre-dated the practice of sheep-dipping which was a pest-control measure. Many such washes would simply be a dam in a stream, but at Thurgarton a 'pulpit' was provided in the middle of the stream for the man doing the washing so that he did not have to stand in the water.

Enjoy the peace and tranquility of the beautiful, rural location that is Stoke Lock and Woods on the River Trent near Nottingham. The mature woodland around Stoke Lock was planted just after the lock was built in 1927, creating an excellent site for walkers and nature lovers. There are also some fascinating conservation projects taking place in the area. For instance the Netherfield Lagoons Local Nature Reserve. You'll discover more from the interpretation panel and listening posts on site. (source: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/places-to-visit/stoke-lock-and-woods)

A Local Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire The Netherfield Lagoons, Local Nature Reserve is situated on the Trent Valley Flood Plain in Nottinghamshire and has been partly used as a dump for coal slurry but with two remaining gravel ponds. The two slurry pits are separated by a raised causeway, which is elevated some 50 feet (15 m) above the pits, giving a commanding view of the area. The largest tank is virtually full but retains some water, with muddy edges attractive to waders and roosting gulls and terns. The smaller tank is mainly deep water, attracting good numbers of wildfowl, with smaller birds, especially warblers, feeding and breeding around the tank edges. The site consists roughly of three compartments, the Slurry Lagoon, the Deep Pit and the two Gravel Pits. (source: https://www.gedlingconservationtrust.org/netherfield-lagoons/)

Bike parking, plenty of space, its surprising who you bump into when your sat refueling! Cakes and sausage sandwiches are great ( They do other things that look good but I'm a simple man) and I always enjoy the coffee.

They provide lots of bike parking and can even supply locks should you forget yours. The food and drink is awesome too (their bacon rolls rock).

Great food with a great setting, well worth a visit because I really can’t fault the place!

Lovely location on the Trent. Lots of easy, flat, traffic-free roads around here. Regularly use this as a lunch stop on rides in the southern half of the Vale of Belvoir. There is an easy 30 mile loop to Newark and back, going through quiet lanes up one side of the Trent and back down the other. I have used the riverside Unicorn pub as an overnight base for cycle-touring in this area.
