For this circular cycle ride start off in Beltoft. As you leave the village, ride north taking the quite road over the motorway reaching the Trent bank at Derrythorpe Grange. The route turned South with good views of the rising ground of the Isle to the West. the ride takes in many of the sights of the historic Isle of Axholme, through peaceful countryside to Epworth, home of the Wesley's, visiting Owston Ferry and West Butterwick on the Trent. The Isle of Axholme is rich in history. Once marsh and fenland, it was drained by the Dutch in 1626 by order of Charles I. The Dutchman in charge, Cornelius Vermuyden and his associates met with much opposition from the locals who saw the destruction of their way of life. There was great controversy over the distribution of the new land, causing much conflict with the commoners. Attractions to look out for are the old rectory at Epworth, site of Axholme Priory at low Melwood and fine examples of Dutch architecture at Kelfield. Traffic levels are moderate, apart from the villages.
