Slow Ways linking Rampton and Gainsborough, Retford, Saxilby, Sutton on Trent

Rampton’s four Slow Ways are 44% checked
Help connect Rampton
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Rampton’s Slow Ways.

No major issues, though the path from Meetinghouse Lane to Wood Lane is little used which makes it quite hard work to follow. Beyond the houses there should be two paths - the left hand one is easy to follow along the edge of horse fields, but the owners are clearly trying to stop people using the more direct right hand one - one stile was the only remaining trace of it, so I opted for the slightly longer field path and amended the GPX accordingly. We turn left down Town Street, passing the pub, then left again onto Church Street and right onto Meetinghouse Lane, which is almost unused beyond the houses. Above the church we take the lane right, which leads past farm buildings into the fields....

It loses a star for lazy GPX plotting (e.g. dipping into the Trent between Rampton and Torksey viaduct, and too many long straight lines throughout) and another for the amount of unavoidable road walking. From here the GPX line approximately follows the right of way, but most people walk either on or just below the flood barrier until the old ferry lane crosses it, and from there the lane offers a very straight route into Rampton (after rain some dodging around puddles may be needed to stay dryshod)....

I chose to climb the gate into Sundown car park, then follow round to the exit where you can pick up the path behind the glamping site reception/cafe. The field was in use by young bulls, so I followed the road slightly east to a level crossing where you can pick up a byway that rejoins the path at Magpie Lane Farm, although it seems the bank path is blocked here by a derelict outbuilding - perhaps the mower can't safely pass it - so walkers should continue along Magpie Lane and rejoin the footpath just outside North Leverton....

After the there is a stream crossing via two timber planks that have been ;aid over it, no hand rail and too narrow for wheeled access. Another stile follows followed by crossing a field that is normally very rutted and poached by cows, it is not easy going for anyone with mobility issues....
