This field was easy to pass through and no mud accumulating problems. The ground is fairly compact and the plants seem to eliminate mud problems. It is easy to ride though this section at speed

The back of the church has a decent off road section which has a firm surface and is easily passable. There are a couple of graveyards with some people walking about in this area

There is a decent cycleway / path on the side of the main road into Sleaford from this southern entrance. I had to go back and forward on this path as further along there was another section of terribly bad muddy fields that would have stopped the bikes transmission and just clogged the bike up

RAF Cranwell is just over the road from where the photo was taken. There is an aviation museum at the beginning of this trail, plenty car parking available

NT doesn't encourage cycling in the wider estate, but it's straightforward to cycle through in either direction from the main entrance along the newly resurfaced mile long South Drive and through the (time controlled) pedestrian gate onto Belton Lane. Recently they've been giving out coffee vouchers to people arriving on foot or by cycle at the entrance booths near the car park. They're trying to encourage low carbon visitors.

Beautiful quiet path running through Ancaster valley. Keep your eyes peeled for the rich variety of wildlife that lives in the area.

The Church of St Nicholas dates back to the 12th century and is Grade I-listed. The church windows have some beautifully ornate stained glass windows from the 1800s. Inside there is a wonderful mixture of monuments and objects from the 17th and 18th centuries.
