Linby Village Main Street

Highlight • Settlement

There's a rumour that pancakes were invented in Linby when the villagers freed themselves from Danish conquerers but it's a bit doubtful to be honest. What it is today is a really cute village that won't fail to surprise you as you ride through. The Horse & Groom is a really welcoming pub with a lovely garden and they're very happy for you to take your bikes around the back. As the village is deemed a Conservation Area, it has stayed largely unspoilt and has two streams running down both sides of the village's main street. There are stone cottages and a beautifully restored church that dates back to the 13th century.

Linby Bike Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Part of the SUSTRANS route 6 from Worksop to Nottingham, the Linby bike trail is a super handy gravel trail, pan-flat, that runs along the railway and takes you from the back gate of Newstead Abbey to the picturesque villages of Linby and Papplewick. Also suitable for bike touring. Gets a little busy on sunny days in summer so having a bell is advised. When it's quiet, it's a great track to soar along at speed.
