Cycling in Nottinghamshire

Cycling from Diamond House

Some of the roads around the house could lay claim to being the quietest in England, flat and easily cycled they are ideal for anyone not wishing too arduous a day out. On the other hand there are tracks criss-crossing between villages that pass up and down the escarpment that are challenging to the more adventurous and with careful planning a long day out on a long route can be had through quiet villages in an area that time has forgotten.

Combine this with the cycle routes through Clumber Park, the largest park in Europe, and Sherwood Forest that provides the longest cycle routes in the country and it is definitely an area for any cyclist to explore.

The house has a games room where cycles can be kept safely indoors. Alternatively cycles can be hired from Clumber Park, through the National Trust cycle hire shop or from Sherwood Pines, a little further South through the Forest.

Cycle route 1. South Leverton and Tresswell

A short route from the house on level terrain tracks and short sections of quiet road.
