Linby Bike Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Part of the SUSTRANS route 6 from Worksop to Nottingham, the Linby bike trail is a super handy gravel trail, pan-flat, that runs along the railway and takes you from the back gate of Newstead Abbey to the picturesque villages of Linby and Papplewick. Also suitable for bike touring. Gets a little busy on sunny days in summer so having a bell is advised. When it's quiet, it's a great track to soar along at speed.
