Great spot for a quick loop while doing off-road riding, the lake links up really well to some nice singletrack and Pit top runs

Only open since October 2024 this family run Farm shop is relatively new it is however perfectly situated on the quiet lanes used by many many cyclists between Bawtry and Misterton. All local produce and home made. Great seating area outside on the drive that's a natural sun trap. This area has desperately needed a good place where we cyclists can stop off and get some wholesome refreshments. The family that run it are very welcoming and will even prepare food for groups if you call in advance and pre-order. Give it a go I'm sure you'll be happy.

This is a Very quiet lane, stop on the bridge and take in the views, very interesting to see the sheer scale & size of the quarry.

Britain's greatest male professional cyclist until recently. A tragic story and lovely to see his grave so well kept. See also the memorial stone nearby.

Always a great stop off point! Great selection of meals, plenty of room for the bikes, nice to sit outside when it's warm or inside with a roaring log fire when it's chilly.
