Enjoy your mountain biking & follow the highway code and have special consideration for walkers and horse riders who share the trails with you.

Trail 1

A circular trail from the lowlands of the Humber marshes up to the gentle slopes of the northern Wolds, passing through open countryside & small villages. Bicyclemania trailfinders Suggest starting from Goxhill Village:

A good place to start from is Goxhill, once a major centre for market gardening. During the middle ages a small port existed at Goxhill haven. On the edge of the village the trail runs north easterly along Howe lane, skirting the site of Goxhill airfield. Built for bomber operations during the second world war, the American air force used it as well, mainly for training. Cross the abandoned Goxhill to Immingham railway, passing through South End to turn South along Soff lane. Carry on to Thornton Abbey railway station which serviced Thornton's Abbey founded in 1139 & one of the wealthiest houses of it's time. Henry VIII stayed here with Katherine Howard. The Abbey has many tales of supernatural happenings. Leaving the Abbey head Southwards to turn off West, crossing the railway line to follow the shallow of the Skitter Beck. To the East lies North Killingholme, where some of the Pilgrim fathers left for the new world in 1608. 1.5 km after Ulceby turn North along a slightly busier road [A-1077] towards Wootton, take a detour into the village with it's pretty village pond. A nice place to take five is " pocket park " created on the site of an old chalk quarry, with woodland plantings. Turn east towards Thornton Curtis. Once through Thornton Curtis turn east to Goxhill, descending back onto the flat marsh. At the first road junction cross College road & continue straight ahead back to Goxhill.
