Pretty old industrial bridge!

Worth stopping for these beautiful murals by Phoebe Traquair

Torksey Lock is a canal lock on the Fossdyke Navigation Canal near Lincoln, England. It's a popular spot for leisure craft, wildlife watching, and walking. The Fossdyke Navigation Canal was originally dug in Roman times but was re-opened during the reign of James I. The lock controls the outfall to the River Trent.

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.

Gainsborough Old Hall in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire is over five hundred years old and one of the best preserved medieval manor houses in England. The hall was built by Sir Thomas Burgh in 1460. The Burghs were rich, flamboyant and powerful. Gainsborough Old Hall was not only their home, but also a demonstration of their wealth and importance. Burgh was a benefactor to Newark Church and also the founder of the Chantry and Alms House at Gainsborough. In 1470, the manor was attacked by Sir Robert Welles over a clash about lands, status, and honour, but it was not severely damaged. In 1484 Thomas entertained King Richard III in his hall. Henry VIII visited Gainsborough twice: once in 1509, and again in 1541 with his fifth wife, Queen Catherine Howard. The Queen was accused of indiscretions both at Gainsborough and Lincoln, and she was later executed.

A Norman church (12th century) that has been extensively rebuilt (13th and 15th) and restored in 1876. It is a grade II listed building.

Small shop but has everything you could want. £1 card limit is a godsend when you forget to buy water. Believe there is an instant coffee machine if you need a warm up but plenty of sugar on sale!

Warning! If you plot a route from Beckhingham across to Bar Road, Komoot will default you onto the cycle path that starts in the central reservation twenty metres down the dual carriageway back into Gainsborough, causing you to either go back round ten miles or jump off the carriageway at speed. Not safe and not clever. Sort this nonsense out, Komoot.

Gainsborough Old Hall is something of a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered in Gainsborough. Built in 1460, it is one of the largest and best preserved medieval manor houses in the country. Famous guests included Richard III and Henry VIII. An on-site café serves freshly prepared food and you can enjoy a house tour and a stroll around the gardens and grounds.

Torksey Lock is where the Fossdyke navigation meets the River Trent. The lock is extra wide and long, in order to allow it to take bulky barges - with no less than six pairs of lock gates. Torksey Lock has tea rooms nearby and is a great place to watch river craft go by.

Built in 1709, this attractive Grade 1 listed house was the childhood home of pioneering evangelists John and Charles Wesley. The house is currently open for tours, Tues, Weds, Thurs, Saturdays.

Norman Church in Newton on Trent, Lincolnshire

Nice riverside pub with outside seating.

Great spot for a bit of food.

Part of the ride is along the banks of the River Trent. Quiet roads and peaceful.

Gainsborough Town is full of history and definitely worth stopping off at if you have the time. More info about the town: https://www.discovergainsborough.com/visit/ We didn't see the town on this trip and didn't want to go into the town centre so The Trent Port was a great lunch stop for us. Right on our route and food ok. And if like us you find you have a flat tyre, there is plenty of room to fix it.

The church is a Grade II listed building dating from the 12th century, although virtually rebuild in the late 19th century. Only a blocked Norman doorway in the south wall hints at its Norman origins. The two is thought to be around 14th century. Willingham by Stow is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
