View of Torksey Viaduct

Highlight • Viewpoint

Torksey Viaduct is not currently suited for cycling as there are a set of steep steps up to the viaduct on the West bank.

Sustrans plans on extending the route to enable it to be used for cycling in the future.

Torksey Viaduct is a rare example of a tubular box bridge, completed more than 150 years ago as part of the Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. It is now a footpath across the River Trent linking Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

View of Torksey Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Torksey Castle is an Elizabethan manor house on the east bank of the River Trent. It is a 16th century Tudor stone-built, fortified manor house founded by the Jermyn family of Suffolk. It is a Grade-1 listed building and stands on private land with no public access. It is only visible from the A156 road and a public footpath on the west bank of the River Trent (location of photo).

Cottam Power Station

Highlight • Monument

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.
