Caudwell's Mill stands on the River Greet on the site of Southwell’s mediaeval Burgage mill. When Charles Caudwell, whose family originated from Derbyshire, bought the mill in 1851 he made changes, thus greatly increasing the mill’s capacity. Wheat was transported to the mill by road, rail and water. Local corn arrived by horse and cart, supplies from further afield came from the R.Trent by barge to a wharf at Fiskerton which still stands. The mill suffered serious fires on three occasions in 1867, 1893 and 1917. On each occasion the opportunity was taken to modernise the plant. Local bakers took their supply of flour from the mill, best known was ‘Mosedale’s’ Bakery and Caudwell’s ‘Greet Lily Flour’ won the Nottinghamshire’s Bakers Cup in 1907, 1908, 1909, 1912 and 1914. The mill was taken over by Associated British Foods, who closed it in 1977 and in 1989 the mill was converted into residential apartments.

A great track , starting at Fledborough where High Marnham power station was located and going to Braeford Wharf in Lincoln City centre.Twenty five miles return trip if you park at Fledborough.Parking there is fine in the side road.

Between 1729 and c.1845 many improvements were made to the Rufford estate. For example, the addition of the bath house, the creation of the lake and mill buildings, the construction of the brewhouse, water tower and coach house, and also the addition of five ice houses. Although Rufford Abbey once boasted five ice houses, only two remain today. All were constructed around 1820, when the estate was owned by John Lumley-Savile, 8th Earl of Scarbrough (1788–1856). The five ice houses are located near Rufford lake, created c. 1750; for the simple reason that the movement of ice from its source was easier. Not all of Rufford's ice houses faced north, as accessibility and the logistics of the ice may have meant that the builders found it easier to place the doorways facing the lake rather than northerly. It is believed that ice was mainly taken from Blackwalk Pond, which was drained to make way for housing in the 20th century. Blackwalk Pond was used to serve the abbey in Rufford's monastic era, and later supplied water to Rufford's water tower and brewhouse, which remain on site today.

Trail that leads to Sherwood pines or opposite direction to farnsfield and southwell trail

Used as part of a ride from Sheffield to Lincoln - Newark. Wet day, and the sand, grit on the trail got into my chain, and subsequently wore it out. This was part of a round England ride, and the option for full cleaning of the chain was not possible. The trail is good, just be

Lovely gravel forestry trails through Sherwood Pines - links up with loads of other trails in the area if you fancy an explore.

The Trent can be crossed at Torksey, there is also an old viaduct there. The only trouble is that it has a stile and steps at each end. At the Cottam side it is a grass field then a rough track that leads to Rampton. Sustrans is working on it.
