ボッテスフォードでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

lovely canal bridge, head left along disused section of canal to pick up old railway line towards newark.

nice easy stretch of canal to walk. little but nature to keep you company.

A great route but some sections are extremely muddy but great fun. Toft hill climb is one section that really works legs, slow and steady wins out

Regularly explore this end of the Vale of Belvoir lane network and stop at the 'Dirty Duck' pub for lunch. See the duck ornament on the roof and you will understand the name!

Sometimes known as the "Lady of the Vale", it is a large church which has the 2nd highest spire in Leicestershire (at 212 feet). The oldest part of the church dates from the 12th century, with additions and alterations made during the following three centuries, including the nave and spire in the 15th century. There are two gargoyles on the south transept.

Built of ironstone with limestone dressings and dates from c1300, from which period only the arcade with alternating octagonal and circular piers and double-chamfered arches remain.

You will find Woolsthorpe Lock on the end of the fabulously named Dirty Duck Lane. The bridge over the Grantham Canal provides a fantastic viewpoint to take in a rest from your ride, as does the nearby Rutland Arms pub on Woolsthorpe Wharf. There is a good quality gravel towpath alongside the canal.
