Peaks Circular

The route:

On leaving Weelsby Woods, turn left onto Weelsby Road heading westwards
Just after the pedestrian crossing turn left along Park Avenue, continue over the next junction until you see a gated path to your right
Turn right along this path. This path is shared with pedestrians so please ride carefully and respect other users
At the end of this path turn left onto Scartho Road and head south
Just after the second set of traffic lights you may wish to join the off road path on your left hand side. Please keep to the side of the path closest to the road
At the roundabout take the second exit along Waltham Road. Less experienced cyclists may wish to dismount and cross on foot at this point. Follow Waltham Road for 1 ½ miles until you come to another roundabout
Turn left and join the off-road path heading eastwards
At Tollbar Roundabout continue straight ahead , please take care when crossing at this point
Continue along the off-road path until the junction with Peaks Lane where you should turn left. Continue until you come to a set of traffic lights
Turn right here and join the off road path to your left hand side
At the next roundabout turn left again. Less experienced cyclists may wish to cross the road here and use the off road path on the opposite side of the road. Either way continue along Humberston Road to the junction with Clee Road
At this roundabout turn left and head back to the start of the ride at Weelsby Woods

The circular route starts at Weelsby Woods and heads out towards the outskirts of Waltham before turning back through New Waltham and Cleethorpes and back to the Woods.

Much of the Peaks Circular route is on off-road cycle paths, making it great if you want to build up your confidence on your bike before embarking on something a little more challenging. When using these paths please take note of the signs and instructions. Where the path has no line separating the pedestrian and cycle sides, please ride respectfully looking out for other users. Where there is a marked cycle lane please keep to it wherever possible and look out for other cyclists coming the other way.

Once you’ve finished your ride why not head over to the café in the woods for a drink and something to eat. Alternatively, you could stop either at Scartho or Waltham, both of which have cafes for a stop off.
