Bridleway between Warsop and Langwith, was old railway line, quite sludgy at times, can tell the route served a colliery due to the coal dust on the trail.
Singletrack path from Meden Vale, that runs alongside busy A60 road, path connects to other paths at the road.
Path through Meden Vale village, goes around the edge of the sports field then at the rear of the houses
Off road access around the rear of Meden Vale village, a great route to cycle as it avoids busy roads when getting back from Clumber Park
Path from Hazel Gap to Meden Vale, great off road access from Clumber Park to Meden Vale with just a couple of road crossings. Good track too.
Hazel Gap, where 5 different trails lead off in different directions crossing the sometimes busy and often very fast A616 road. A great junction point for cycling especially when accessing Clumber Park from wherever. Taken from the path tha ... [more]
Ancient holloway through the Welbeck estate on the wonderfully named Drinking Pit Lane. The best off road route to Clumber Park from the Creswell area.
Very muddy bridleway through Welbeck estate. It's very often muddy here and on this occasion it was too bad to cycle on
Very muddy bridleway through Welbeck estate. Too bad to cycle easily. A great link from Creswell Crags to Clumber Park though.

164550 Rat run, heavily congested due to school, park and station. Suprised no accidents already.- 164549 Roundabout is far too big. This is not a racetrack, it is a residential area with heavy traffic. Reduce the great swathes of tarmac devoted to to motor traffic and give them to pedestrians and cyclists and put in more roadside greenery.
- 164548 Resurface this dangerously potholed stretch of road. It has been like it for 20 years + ! Sorry if this idea is a bit radical.
- 164547 Upton Road is a way out of the Parade/ High Street - there aren't many and more are needed. Make Upton Road a traffic-calmed street. It does not carry much traffic. Even better, make it pedestrians and cycles only.
- 164545 Why no Toucan crossing across the Watford Ring Road to give access to Water Lane. A glaring ommission!
- 164544 A link from the Ebury Way cycle route to the Croxley Business Park would be a so valuable. I am amazed such a link has not yet been put in.
- 164538 Extend the existing cycle path through the woods so that it goes under the White Bridge, through to the college car park and linking to College Way. This ought to be quite easy by using the existing railway line but would help connect existing cycle routes / quiet streets.
- 164536 Hazards - traffic speeds through at this point. Congestion too. Better for town centre if traffic diverted to prioritise walking between Castle grounds and main shopping area.
- 164535 This path isn't quite wide enough for people to pass socially-distanced let alone when you factor in families, dogwalkers, cyclists etc. The path should be widened.
- 164534 The pavement here is far too narrow for people walking past to socially-distance, let alone for all the visitors to the facility. This pushes people into the road.
A comprehensive redesign of this area is needed.
- 164533 This is another pinchpoint making social distancing difficult.
A keep to the left policy should be encouraged.
- 164532 There is no direct link on foot from Skegness Road to Fishers Green Road going North-east or East.
When the next relevant development takes place in this area a planning obligation to provide a connection should be secured. It will save people in Skegness Road either a much longer walk, or else getting in their car to go to the local shop
