스켈링소프 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Description of gravel not accurate, at on point you have to cycle around the side of a wheat field, very rutted, also nettles about 3 feet high in places. When you turn of the road on the byway it is blocked across the field with electric fences for the horses. Not a very nice ride.

It can be busy, with the café, the restaurant the bike and other shops. With those attractions goes at least two sets of toilets

Great place to grab a coffee and look for a new bike.

Entrances into Old Wood are via bridle gates – suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs – and stiles, although at some points of entry access may be limited. The eastern side of the wood is accessed via two public byways which join up with a bridleway and footpath running along the eastern edge of the site. Two more footpaths enter the woodland from the west, over adjacent farmland via a stile. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/woods/old-wood-skellingthorpe/

If you need to load up the carbs, the chip butty has my recommendation. One of the best I've had.

Doddington Hall is a fine Elizabethan manor house with walled gardens. It also has a large GIANT bike store on-site, with a very cyclist friendly coffee shop in the store.
