Woodhall Spa to Bardney (via the Water Rail Way)

We begin our ride at Kirskstead Bridge in Woodhall Spa and head out along the traffic free picturesque Water Rail Way. Keep an eye out for the many interesting sculptures and history boards telling the story of the Water Rail Way, formerly part of the Lincoln to Boston branch line of the Great Northern Railway.

The first 3.6 miles are traffic free, then we will head along a quiet road out of Southrey village past the Southery Wood. This wood forms part of the extensive and historically important Bardney Limewoods. We will then continue on to the B1190 road for just under 2 miles to Bardney Heritage Centre. * The Heritage Centre is closed on Thursdays so please bring a bite to eat with you and a drink. There is a shop in Bardney if you wish to purchase any refreshments. (Please bring cash/card).

There will be time to stop along the route to take photos if you wish and our stop will be in Bardney before we head back along the way we came.

Please bring cash/card to purchase any refreshments plus bicycle locks. Helmets are strongly encouraged.

We especially welcome newbies!
