Built by Roger Pocklington Esq. in the 18th century as his country seat in Winthorpe, this grand mansion was at one time one of three in the village (the other two being Winthorpe House and Winthorpe Grange, the latter has since been demolished). Winthorpe Hall is now a privately owned care home.text/html2006-04-15T20:00:18+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.105854 -0.791536SK8157 : Winthorpe railway crossing

Although some way out of the village, there used to be a halt for Winthorpe at this point on the railway line which runs between Nottingham and Lincoln.text/html2006-04-15T19:56:09+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.121102 -0.788120SK8158 : Holme Lane, between Holme and Langford Crossing
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152335
Roughly between the drainage ditch in the foreground, and a point just after the road bend in the distance, Holme Lane makes its distinguished appearance as the only public right of way in SK8158.text/html2006-04-15T19:49:06+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.128184 -0.777458SK8159 : Cycle route near to Langford
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152328
The footpath originally continued straight ahead at this point, but was diverted some years ago due to the expansion of the gravel extraction works near Collingham. In recent times, the footpath has been resurfaced and is now also part of route 64 of the National Cycle Network.text/html2006-04-15T19:42:55+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.131748 -0.774368SK8260 : Cycle route bypassing gravel works, near Collingham
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152320
There seem to be two very different environments in this photo - one being the highly industrial gravel extraction works, and the other being the peaceful wooded path, which is now also part of route 64 of the National Cycle Network.text/html2006-04-15T19:35:46+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.137171 -0.777203SK8160 : Silt lagoons near Collingham
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152314
One of the many footpaths diverted in this area (due to the expanding gravel extraction works) passes alongside a series of silt lagoons.text/html2006-04-15T19:27:36+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.147149 -0.785891SK8161 : Horse Pool, near Collingham
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152310
Just off the Trent Valley Way, this is usually a reedy pool, but following the dry winter there is very little water left in it.text/html2006-04-15T19:22:23+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.146311 -0.791896SK8061 : Trent Valley Way north of Cromwell Lock
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152305
A slightly drunken gatepost marks the point just beyond which the Trent Valley Way leaves the river to head east for Collingham.text/html2006-04-15T19:16:53+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.141817 -0.792022SK8061 : Cromwell Lock and Weir
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152301
The weir marks the point at which the River Trent becomes tidal, and the huge Cromwell Lock enables river craft to continue upstream (from this viewpoint) towards Newark. The two narrowboats at the right of the picture are waiting for the lock to empty after the previous group of six cabin cruisers had passed through.text/html2006-04-15T19:09:39+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.133759 -0.795237SK8060 : Trent Valley Way crossing Slough Dyke
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152293
About half a mile north of Holme village, the Trent Valley Way crosses Slough Dyke on a substantial footbridge well guarded with safety barriers. This is also where the Dyke goes through the Trent floodbank, and there is a sluicegate just to the right of the bridge to keep floodwaters under control. text/html2006-04-15T19:02:40+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.123050 -0.803009SK8059 : Gothic Farmhouse and Holme village
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152289
The Gothic Farmhouse stands at the crossroads in the centre of Holme, which is a very pretty village, but seems to have an overabundance of overhead cables.text/html2006-04-15T18:57:25+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.121268 -0.804552SK8058 : Old Hall Farm, Holme

A beautiful old building backing onto fields and the River Trent.text/html2006-04-15T18:46:03+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.117628 -0.800171SK8058 : Trent Valley Way near Holme
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152264
Just south of Holme there is a choice of routes on foot. The Trent Valley Way turns left off the floodbank and bypasses the village, and a second footpath passes over a cattle grid and along the track visible on the right which then enters the village.text/html2006-04-15T18:21:57+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2334Christine Hasman53.112236 -0.800321SK8057 : Winthorpe Lake
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/152235
A Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust reserve and very popular with fisherman, Winthorpe Lake lies between the River Trent and the Trent Valley Way.
