Brilliant ride with good tarmac apart from 1 mile at Bardney.Suitable for mountain and road bikes Just have to push through central Lincoln or preferably don't cycle this section. Together with the 11.7 miles of old track heading west out of Lincoln over the Trent, this can make a 60 miles circuit of good off road cycling from Tuxford to Boston

The field surrounding the abbey is grazed by rare breed longhorn cattle. They seemed unconcerned by our presence but I wouldn't want to take dog in their field.

Bardney lock is located on the River Witham about 11 miles to the East of Lincoln. The River Witham flows through the peaceful Lincolnshire countryside and is has beautiful views with a remote feeling for much of its length. The flat marshy fenlands stretch out on either side of the river allowing spectacular sunsets to be seen.
