Newark to Cotham

5 miles (8.4 km)

This cycle route follows a dismantled railway line between Newark-on-Trent and Cotham in Nottinghamshire.
The flat, easy route runs for just over 5 miles along the trackbed of the old Newark to Bottesford railway. With no traffic it's a nice one for families or anyone looking for a safe, easy cycle ride. Walkers can enjoy the pleasant surfaced path too of course.
The trail starts off just north of Newark train station on National Cycle Route 64. You then head south through the town to New Balderton before coming to the little village of Cotham.
To extend the ride you can continue on to Grantham on the Grantham to Newark-On-Trent Cycle Route.
