The National Cycle Network is Sustrans' primary initiative, providing up to 12,600 miles of walking and cycling routes across the country. Routes are numbered in a similar manner to the original A-road numbering system, radiating clockwise from London. The UK is further divided into ten regions, with regional routes numbered in a similar fashion. National Route 6 connects London with the Lake District; one of its branches is Regional Route 68, the Penine Cycleway from Derby to Berwick-on-Tweed.
Clumber Park was once the country estate of the Dukes of Newcastle. The mansion was demolished in 1938, but the chapel, pleasure ground, serpentine lake and walled kitchen garden have all been preserved.
The park was left to the people of Worksop by the Duke of Newcastle and acquired by the National Trust in 1946. It is used by walkers and has several miles of paths and cycle tracks surrounding the lake.
