Althorpe Station to Scunthorpe Station
A surprisingly green route, mainly along a former railway track, crossing the tidal Trent via Keadby Bridge and field paths and with footbridges over the motorway and railway. Mostly easy and direct. Part of the Isle of Axholme Greenway. Keadby Bridge has good views of the tidal Trent.
Easy: 6km, moderate ascents.
Several road crossings need care, particularly the A18 from Althorpe station, which has no assisted crossing or central reservation, and Scotter Road, which has no halfway refuge. Care also needed crossing after Keadby Bridge where the road bends with a junction.
