Very picturesque, heading through the lovely village of Swayfield, head towards Water Lane which is off the Castle Bytham Road. Turning left go past Church Farm you will have to lift your bike over 3 styles to get to the drift but worth it as you pass through a nice track and an orchard. Once on the Drift turn left to head to Corby Glen or Swayfield or turn right to reach Creeton. Suitable for mountain and gravel bikes.

Great little track for a mountain bike or gravel bike, very muddy in the winter but still passable. Can get a bit busy with dog walkers especially in the spring and summer.
