Lovely old church, nice place to take 5, before climbing up the hill.

Not a bad place to stop for a break, refuel just off the main road with big views over the surrounding area, shame there are no longer any planes to watch from RAF Scampton.

The very old Stone Bridge over the river Idle just outside Eaton. A lovely place to stop and have a minute. There are walking trails along the river back to Ordsall. It's very picturesque and quiet at this spot.

This place is really in the middle of nowhere, it's at the junction of Thornhill Lane and Littleborough Road. It can't be missed because there's nutting else there. What makes it special is its unique six sided shape. Definitely a place of note and worth a photo.

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 railwaypaths.org.uk/category/latest-news

The viaduct creates a link between Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. The structure offers fantastic views of the ruined Torksey Castle.
