워커링햄 최고의 러닝 경로

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

Located on the water’s edge of the River Trent in Gainsborough. On 10 May 1608, a group of Separatists (mainly women and children) decided to escape from Gainsborough in search of religious freedom. They left via the River Trent on a small barge called ‘The Francis’ which travelled to Stallingborough near Immingham, where they would meet a larger boat that would take them to Amsterdam in Holland. After 12 years of city live, some of them returned to England where they embarked the Mayflower in 1620 for their journey to America for a new life.

The path was very soggy in parts and the bridges low with narrow path. Consider going over the top for safety.

It does not look it but it’s a steep drop to the tow path. My advice when wet is walk down the steps onto the level.

This is the joint of the Trent and a marina with a lock protecting the Chesterfield canal. This is my commencement point to complete a cycle of the whole Chesterfield canal top to toe.

You can go straight on and miss out the Marina and West Stockwith Yacht Club if you are heading to the start of the chesterfield canal.

The pump house blocked the path so it was down embankment and across a bridge to meet the path. There is a made road to you left go down there as it’s easier and join the embankment trail about 1/2 mile further on. Back to very rutted and mole hill filled trail.

After an initial path along the Trent it became more tricky. The cycle route was shown and marked but it was on the top of the riverside embankment Rutted and muddy only suitable to MTB
