Great for gravel riding. Little traffic.

Although there's a cut through road from Cottesmore road to Greetham road, there's no path and it's a narrow 60 mph road. This route is the safest way to reach the bakery from Greetham. There's a footpath the whole way.

A maze of quiet lanes to pedal around in the area. A lovely inn, but pricey; the kind of place to go to for a treat.

Fort Henry is a gothic folly, sitting beside a large lake often adorned with water lilies in the heart of Exton Park. Built in 1788 for Henry, Earl of Gainsborough, Fort Henry is located on private grounds, as are the shores of the larger, Northern lake. The public footpath circumnavigates the smaller lake to the South.

Perfect picnic spot - FYI, The north shore is private property.
