Cycling for everyone
There are bike rides for all ages, abilities and levels of confidence. So whether you are after a route for you and the kids at the weekend or fancy something more challenging have a look and see what you can find.
Copies of each leaflet can be picked up from your local library or from the Cycle Hub at Grimsby Town railway station.
A brand new cycle route has been created by Cycle Lincolnshire. The Grimsby Revolution is a 33-mile route that takes you around North East Lincolnshire, starting at the Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre, along the seawall through to Stallingborough before travelling through the villages of Great Coates, Laceby, Waltham and New Waltham. The route takes in elements of the River Freshney and includes a long run along the seafront at Cleethorpes. There are plenty of places to stop en route for refreshments.
Cycle Routes

Distance – 26 miles (42km)
Ride time – 3hrs

If you fancy a challenge this weekend then this is the one for you.
The ride takes you from Immingham up into the foothills of the Lincolnshire Wolds before a café stop in the picturesque town of Caistor and a return ride along the National Cycle Route, through Great Limber, Brocklesby and Habrough.
The start of this route is in Immingham. Originally a rural hamlet surrounded by marshland, in 1608 it was the last departure point for the Pilgrim Separatists who fled England for Holland. They later boarded the Mayflower ship and founded one of the first English colonies in America. Today, Immingham is the largest port by tonnage the UK.
Whilst much of this ride is on quieter roads there are some sections that will require you to cycle along busier sections. Please take care when cycling along them.
The half way point on this ride comes as you enter the town of Caistor, there are several places to stop for a drink and something to eat. If you’ve got a few minutes the Arts & Heritage Centre is well worth a look around.
The Centre is a beautiful conversion of a former Methodist chapel. Delicious cakes, afternoon tea, snacks and lunches are served in the cafe and on their sunny terrace. Upstairs you can discover local history displays, exhibitions in our gallery and a well-stocked public library.
On leaving Caistor you head north along the National Cycle Network Route 1 that runs the length of the country from Dover right up to northern Scotland and the Shetland Islands.
The rest of the route is mainly through the Brocklesby Estate, with its extensive wood and parklands, look out for the 128ft tall Pelham Pillar and the Brocklesby Mausoleum which are both only a short ride off the route.

The Bradley Wolds Loop is one of our longer rides and takes in many of the quiet lanes in the countryside around the Lincolnshire Wolds.
Starting from the Football Development Centre the route heads south towards Waltham before passing Waltham Windmill before you start climbing into the small foothills of the Wolds themselves. Once there the route is quite hilly, the views from the tops of the climbs should more than make up for the effort needed to get up there in the first place! On a clear day you should be able to see the coast at Cleethorpes from along this route.
Keep going and you’ll pass through the village of Brookenby, until the 1980s the site was RAF Binbrook. During the Second World War the airfield was part of Bomber Command and later in its life was home to a number of well know bomber squadrons including the Dambusters 617 squadron. Since its closure the former RAF housing has been turned into the current village you see today.
Roughly half way around the route you’ll come into Binbrook, the village has plenty of places to stop for a rest, and some refreshment before getting back on your bike for the second half of the ride. After leaving Binbrook you’ll soon pick up the route of the NCN Route 1, long distance cycle route that runs along the east coast from Dover in the south to northern Scotland.
At Beelsby you’ll leave the NCN behind and start to head back to Waltham. At the junction with the A18 please use the small off road cycle path opposite. The A18 is often very busy with lorries and other fast moving traffic, take care when crossing the road especially if your party contains less experienced cyclists. Finally on the outskirts of Waltham turn left back up Bradley Road towards the end point of this ride.
The route:
- Leave the football centre car park and turn left along Bradley Road. Be aware that this can be a busy road so please take care
- At the mini-roundabout turn left heading towards Waltham
- Turn right at the first mini-roundabout and go straight ahead at the second
- As you enter Brigsley keep to the main road and follow the road ahead through the village
- At the roundabout go straight ahead in the direction of East Ravendale
- At the crossroads go straight ahead
- As you pass through the village you’ll come to a fork in the road turn left off the main road
- Keep on this road for 1 ½ miles until you come to a right turn. Take this turn towards the Clickem Inn
- As you reach the pub turn left along the B1203
- Follow the road straight through the village of Swinhope
- Follow the B1203 until you reach the junction with Orford Road, turn right and follow this road towards Thoresway
- After crossing a small bridge turn right at the crossroads (follow the NCN Route 1 signs), then continue along this route
to Croxby along the Sustrans NCN Route 1 - On the outskirts of Croxby go straight ahead back towards Beelsby
- After a further 1 ½ miles you’ll enter Beelsby. Leave NCN Route 1 here and turn right back towards Waltham
- Turn right then first left here. You are advised to use the small off road cycle path at this point. The A18 is a very busy road and cycling along it is not advised
- Pass through Barnoldby-le- Beck and continue to the mini roundabout where you should turn left back up Bradley Road
to the finish of the ride

This ride takes in views across the Humber and the picturesque local villages of Great Coates, Stallingborough and Healing. The start of the ride is at Grimsby Leisure Centre on Cromwell Road. There is free car parking available at the Leisure Centre.
When you join the seawall, do stop for a moment and take in the view. The Humber Estuary in front of you is one of the busiest areas of water in the country with ships from all over Europe and beyond visiting the nearby ports of Grimsby and Immingham.
The river itself drains around 20% of the total land surface of England. The estuary is around 100,000 years old and was formed during the last Ice Age, when it is believed that an ice sheet plugged the mouth of the river causing the build-up of silt and debris behind it. When the ice melted the sea flooded in covering much of the lowlying land creating the estuary as we see it today.
As well as being busy with industry, the river is also home to a host of wildlife. As you ride along you may be lucky enough to see flocks of wading birds feeding on the tiny invertebrates that inhabit the estuary’s mudflats. At high tide, when the area is covered in water, you are likely to see local fishermen looking for a catch.
As the route turns away from the water it passes through the historic village of Stallingborough. Dating back to before the Doomsday Book the ancient village site is still visible in a series of earthworks to the west of the village church. You may wish to stop off at the village shop or nearby pub for some refreshments before heading back to the start of the ride via Healing.
The route:
- Leave the Leisure centre grounds and turn left onto Cromwell Road
- To your left is a small cutting through to Great Coates. Please dismount and walk your bike through the cutting, at the end turn right and re-join the road along Station Road
- At the junction of Woad Lane and Moody Lane go straight ahead along the Public Bridleway towards the sea
- At the end of this path turn left and cycle along the seawall
- After approximately 1 ¼ miles turn left off the seawall. At this point you may need to dismount to pass around a barrier
- Follow the track to the junction of South Marsh Road and Hobson Way, turn right then immediately turn left towards Stallingborough. Head straight along South Marsh Road and Station Road through the village for approximately 2½ miles
- At the roundabout turn left onto the B1210 towards Healing
- As you enter Healing you may wish to join the off road cycle path on the lefthand side of the road. You can follow this path all the way to Grimsby
- At St Michael’s Church turn left onto the path alongside the Freshney passing through a small wooded area
- Follow the path until you reach a T-junction, turn right here and keep the fence to your left-hand side, at the end of the path turn left onto Yarrow Road
- At the junction with Yarborough Road turn left and join the off road path, at the next junction turn left onto Sorrell Road
- Follow this road to the junction with Spark Street where you should turn left.
- At the junction with Cromwell Road turn left and head back towards the start point at the Leisure Centre
Suitability – All family
Distance – 2.75 miles (4.5km)

This is a great ride for a sunny afternoon ride out with the kids in Cleethorpes. The ride is a little under 3 miles in length, with a stop for an ice cream half-way, making it suitable for just about anyone.
The route begins at Meridian Park before taking you along Marine Walk into Cleethorpes and back again. When cycling in this area please keep to the correct side of the path as it is shared with walkers and on a warm summer day it can be busy with pedestrians as well as cyclists.
Looking out across the Humber, you’ll probably be able to see the lighthouse at Spurn Point on the other side of the estuary as well as the Haile Sand and Bull Sand forts, standing guard at the mouth of the river. The two forts were planned in 1914 to protect the sea entrance to the estuary. Completed in 1919, they were used by the military until the mid-1950s.
As the gateway of the Humber Estuary, our coastline is important to a wide variety of birds. Providing a vital staging post for migratory birds, over 150,000 birds feed here during winter months alone.
As you cycle along, you will notice the railway tracks to your side. These tracks are used by the engines of the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway. Operating for more than 70 years, it is one of Britain’s oldest seaside miniature railways and runs between the Kingsway station and North Sea Lane station at weekends and daily during the summer months.
The Lakeside station plays host to a variety of festivals throughout the year. The station is also home to the Signal Box Inn, reportedly the smallest pub on the planet, measuring just 8ft x 8ft.
A short ride off this route to your left is Cleethorpes Boating Lake. The two lakes are linked by a connecting channel, the northern lake is open for fishing and is used by a local model boat club. If you’re feeling energetic, you can hire a rowing boat or pedalo on the southern lake.
The route:
- Pass the shops on your right and then turn right along Meridian Road, you soon cross over the miniature railway tracks
- At the T-junction follow Meridian Road round to the right and continue for 500m keeping the railway line to your left
- Turn left into a car park and head through a gate over the railway line turning left on the cycle/footpath along the dunes.
Please keep to the correct side of the path and be courteous to other users - Keep pedalling along this path keeping the dunes to your right. Beware that this path can become covered in sand so please be cautious when riding along here with young children
- Ice-cream stop, enjoy an ice cream or a drink at the café before turning round and heading back
- At the T-junction keep to the left and follow the path keeping the dunes to your left this time
- At this junction turn right and head over the bridge, you may need to dismount and walk past the gate over the bridge if it is closed
- Cross the railway line and turn left heading back to Meridian Park
Suitability – Adults and older children
Distance – 14 miles (22.5km)

This is the shorter of our two rides that start in Immingham (see also A Hint of the Wolds). At around 14 miles, it is one that should be manageable by most people with reasonable fitness.
Immingham as we see it today came about thanks to the railways and the deep-water port companies in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The port is now the largest port by tonnage in the UK.
The historic village grew up around St Andrew’s parish church which you’ll pass on your way back into the town after your ride. Heading out from Immingham you’ll soon discover the countryside right on your doorstep. Much of this ride is on quiet countryside roads but please note that you will have to cross the A18 which can be busy with lorries and other vehicles. Please take extra care and look out for any members of your group who may be less confident.
On your way to Keelby, you’ll pass through Roxton Woods. Keep an eye out for the host of wildlife that makes its home amongst the trees. Keelby is a great place to pause for a drink and a bite to eat.
The village is about a third of the way around the route so make sure you stock up on drinks, especially if it’s a hot sunny day.

The Miller’s Loop is a popular ride and it’s not surprising. At a distance of 8 miles on mostly flat, quiet roads, the ride is ideal for most people, and will take you around the countryside south of Waltham.
The start of the ride is at Waltham Windmill. There has been a mill on the site since 1666 but the present six-storied mill was built in the 1880s by John Saunderson of Louth. The sails drive the grinding stones to produce flour which is still milled today.
Alongside the mill, you can visit the Museum of Rural Life, which features many exhibits from the 1930s and 1940s and also the RAF Grimsby exhibition.

When using these paths please take note of the signs and instructions. Where the path has no line separating the pedestrian and cycle sides, please ride respectfully looking out for other users. Where there is a marked cycle lane please keep to it wherever possible and look out for other cyclists coming the other way.

The route heads westwards along the A46. Please take extra care on this section of the route.
After a short time, you’ll leave the main roads behind and the majority of the rest of the route is on country tracks or quieter roads.

This is short ride that starts at the Cycle Hub at Grimsby station. You’ll ride past the Grimsby Minster, a 13th century building which was granted minster status in 2010 and is the parish church dedicated to St James. The church welcomes all – for worship, for coffee, for peace and reflection, for music and art and much more.
If you visit the Minster, see if you can spot the St James imp. Associated with a folk tale, it is said the Imp played tricks in the church and was turned to stone by an angel. Take time to visit St James Square outside the Minster, and look at the public art in the Square, including the etched words in the paving. Please note the route past the church is shared with pedestrians so please take extra care and give way to people on foot if necessary.
On leaving the Minster, you head out through the town and over Cleveland Bridge. This bridge once carried the vehicles on the Grimsby to Immingham tramway, the terminus for which used to be next to Corporation Bridge. The tramline opened in 1911 and finally closed half a century later when buses took over from the trams.
Further along the route you’ll travel through the village of Great Coates. The parish church dates from around 1200AD and is the site of the Coates family grave, after whom the village is believed to be named.
Further along Great Coates Road, the route diverts away from the main road and travels along the River Freshney. The river rises at the edge of the Wolds and meanders through the town before discharging into the Humber near Grimsby’s docks.
Much of this ride is on quieter roads and where there are sections of dedicated cycle path you are advised to use them.
