The Isle of Axholme is a runner’s paradise. We can point you towards short or long run distances, either across country and car-free or along the banks of the River Trent. Most routes are flat.
Cyclists are well served; the Isle of Axholme Greenway stretches over 12 miles, mostly off road and is excellent for children (particularly the Keadby Canal stretch) and less confident cyclists.
Anglers have a choice of watercourses – Lindholme Lakes has 450 pegs, 10 pools and often hosts televised events.
Paddleboarders will enjoy the River Idle from Haxey to Bawtry launching at Haxey Gate Inn.
Walkers may enjoy The Peatlands Way a 50 mile way marked route across the moors and sights of the Isle.
Golfers can choose the Championship 27 hole course at Forest Pines or something more local at Haxey Gate Golf Course.
Tennis is available in Epworth.
