The route starts in Scunthorpe's
beautiful 100 acre park, on the skyline to the East, are the four
blast furnaces affectionately known as the Queens, Mary, Bess, Anne
and Victoria. The cycle route goes through the park to the busy
Kingsway road, A-18 and on down Glover road. A right turn at the
mini-roundabout will bring you onto West common lane, past John
Leggett college. The woodland to your right as you descend the steep
hill marks the 15 mile Ridge walk, created in the 1940s, linking open
spaces on the west side of Scunthorpe. At the bottom of the hill,
dismount and cross the busy Scotter road. Leave the town behind,
following Brumby common lane due west towards the Trent. You will pass
the villages of Burringham, East Butterwick, Messingham and Bottesford
before returning back. Traffic levels low to moderate for most of the
ride but levels will be high in the Scunthorpe area.
