Vazon Swing Bridge is a conventional swing bridge but nearby the railway crosses to the south side of the canal on a very rare type of sliding bridge. This is the Vazon sliding railway bridge, which moves aside to allow boats to navigate down the Stainforth and Kneadby canal.

Julian Bower is a great example of a well preserved turf maze with its sunken form demonstrating its great age. It is thought that the maze was cut by Spalding Priory before 1220. It is one of few surviving turf mazed believed to be from the medieval period.
