National Cycle Route 15
26 miles (42 km)
This signed Sustrans route is currently open in sections around Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.
As of time of writing it is not yet complete but will eventually run from Belton to Coningsby, linking National Cycle Route 1 and National Cycle Route 6.
The route shown below follows a lovely section of the trail from Grantham to West Bridgford via Muston, Bottesford and Bingham. The first part to Muston is almost all traffic free following the towpath of the Grantham Canal for most of the way.
Towards the end of the route there's more waterside cycling along the lakes and the River Trent in Holme Pierrepont Country Park and Colwick Country Park in West Bridgford.
Other currently open sections include Belton to Diseworth.

Finger ponds. This is the name given to the area of former gravel workings at the eastern end of Holme Pierrepont Country Park. It derives from the way that this area was worked leaving long narrow strips of water divided by narrow banks. The formation of the ponds shows up better on the 1:25000 maps than the 1:50000
