If it’s dry it good, if it’s been raining it’s an awful mud bath and one to avoid!

The Trans Pennine Trail is a super good multi-use trail that links the North and Irish Seas via Hornsea to Southport. At 215 miles (346 km), it is a brilliant long trail that traverses the Pennines, travels alongside rivers and canals, as well as going through some of the most charming towns in England. Sprotbrough is one such place, being one of the nicest riverside towns out there with so many attractions such as Sprotbrough Weir, Sprotbrough Flash Nature Reserve, and of course nearby iconic Conisbrough Viaduct.

Bridleway that runs almost parallel to Bawtry Road. It's a bit lumpy and rutted at the southern end but gets better, and wider, at the nothern end where it joins up with a number of other farm tracks heading east and west. A good alternative to get off the busy Bawtry Road, providing you've got the right kind of bike (mtb, gravel or a tourer with a wide tyre). The southern end can be a bit tricky in Winter, especially when it's muddy.
