Giro veloce in bici da Edwinstowe a Blidworth

Edwinstowe to Blidworth Cycling Route

Get ready for a scenic spin from the legendary village of Edwinstowe—famous as the heart of Sherwood Forest and the legendary haunt of Robin Hood—down to the charming village of Blidworth. This ride covers just under 16 km, so it’s perfect for a half-day adventure.

You’ll weave through some varied landscapes: expect about 38% unpaved surfaces with plenty of gravel and loose paths, so a sturdy hybrid or gravel bike is your best bet. A good chunk of the route follows cycleways and tracks, keeping you mostly away from traffic, though you’ll also encounter some quiet and busier roads, so stay alert!

Along the way, you’ll enjoy gentle climbs (total ascent around 145 meters) and some sweet descents. Blidworth itself is tucked on the edge of the Nottinghamshire woodlands, known for its historic windmill and connections to Robin Hood folklore as well.

Pack a snack, bring your camera, and don’t forget to stop for a moment in the woods—who knows, you might spot the spirit of Robin Hood himself!
