December 18, 2025, Fossdyke Navigation

The path beside the Fossdyke has at one end the Brayford pool in Lincoln with pubs, restaurants and cinema. The route continues past the Pyewipe Inn, Beyond that is Burton Waters with the very popular Woodcocks. Further on is the village of Saxilby with its railway station.

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
