Safety Warning: Beckingham to Bar Road Route

Highlight • Rest Area

Warning! If you plot a route from Beckhingham across to Bar Road, Komoot will default you onto the cycle path that starts in the central reservation twenty metres down the dual carriageway back into Gainsborough, causing you to either go back round ten miles or jump off the carriageway at speed. Not safe and not clever. Sort this nonsense out, Komoot.

The Pilgrim Woman Statue

Highlight • Monument

Located on the water’s edge of the River Trent in Gainsborough.
On 10 May 1608, a group of Separatists (mainly women and children) decided to escape from Gainsborough in search of religious freedom. They left via the River Trent on a small barge called ‘The Francis’ which travelled to Stallingborough near Immingham, where they would meet a larger boat that would take them to Amsterdam in Holland. After 12 years of city live, some of them returned to England where they embarked the Mayflower in 1620 for their journey to America for a new life.
