Tips from the Community
Lovely little bridge over the Warping Drain near East Lound and Haxey. It's a highlight because there's not much in the area. Miles of long flat country lanes and farm roads that criss cross the Isle of Axholme. At the bridge you regularly see swans, ducks and various other wild birds that like to hang out where there's water. There's a cow field on one side, the cows use the drain as a watering hole. I always stop here when I'm riding out that way and admire the surrounding countryside, it's extremely peaceful and quiet. Next time you're in the area give it a try.

Only open since October 2024 this family run Farm shop is relatively new it is however perfectly situated on the quiet lanes used by many many cyclists between Bawtry and Misterton. All local produce and home made. Great seating area outside on the drive that's a natural sun trap. This area has desperately needed a good place where we cyclists can stop off and get some wholesome refreshments. The family that run it are very welcoming and will even prepare food for groups if you call in advance and pre-order. Give it a go I'm sure you'll be happy.

Haxey Church and Parish are over 900 years old. The Church of St Nicholas is a prominent landmark and visible from most of the parish. It was founded in the 12th century by the Earl of Mowbray, the then Lord of the Manor but little can be seen of the original structure, the church has been changed and remodelled several times since then. It was first extended in about 1200 A.D., but the great transformation of this Norman church into the Perpendicular style of architecture took place in about the middle of the 14th century and into the 15th century, including the new tower, 90 feet high, which was built in the 15th century.
