I believe this used to be a coal power station that was decommissioned in 2019. The cooling towers are quite impressive, and the wide gravel track passes very close to them.

Torksey Viaduct is closed. I was there on Friday 7th March 2025 and I ended up cycling south on A road to Dunham Bridge and back north to rejoin the route (Lincoln Gravel Imp). The viaduct may reopen in the future if a new leaseholder is found. Here is some info I found about the closure https://www.railwaypaths.org.uk/category/latest-news/

With steps at one end you'll have to carry the bike but with no other way to cross the river for miles you may not have much choice

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/
