The Teversal Trails are a series of trails on the route of old railway lines. The Teversal Trails Visitor Centre is located on Carnarvon Street in a large car park that serves the Teversal Football, Teversal Cricket and Teversal Bowls clubs. Teversal (called Tevershall) is the site of Wragby Hall where Clifford and Connie Chatterly lived in the D.H Lawrence novel, Lady Chatterly's Lover. This book gives good detail of the life of Tevershall colliery and colliers, although it is not clear if the coal mine, and the nearby Stacks Gate Colliery, described in the novel, actually existed.

Teversal was the home of the fictional Lady Chatterley in the novel Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence.[2]
