Nice caffè just outside the castle. Cyclist friendly

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

currently closed for refurbishment (end of oct 25)

If you into war history the memorial at the gliding club is worth checking out, the Viking way itself is part of the 130 mile route which goes right upto the Humber estuary and this section hosts the Viking challenge each year in October when it’s usually very muddy

One of the top 100 climbs. Fairly short and ramps up as you go easing off after the s bend

Always a must

A very beautiful landscape with ponds and small lakes close to the river Trrent

Tithby is a quaint and historic little village just south of Bingham. One of its unique features is a vintage AA road sign, mounted on a house wall, which gives distances to London, Nottingham, and Bingham. This old yellow sign is a reminder of early motoring history.

An excellent cafe stop before or after visiting the historic castle which is not far from here.

A nice part of the world though I prefer the parallel, quiet lane on my road bike. Don't forget to stop at the 'Dirty Duck' pub near the lock pictured. Spot the 'sculpture' of the duck on the roof of the pub.

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

Beautiful spot great scenery and history Castle grounds definitely worth a visit

Amazing! I wasn't expecting such a castle in the middle of Newark when cycling through.👍 Looks like it would be well worth a visit if you have time.

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!

Lovely ride along the River Trent from Long Eaton to Holm Pierrepont.

Great descent down to the bridge.

Fantastic gravel trail with panoramic views of the Vale of Belvoir to the north and Knipton Reservoir to the south.

Belvoir Castle sits ontop of a hill rising over the valley of Belvoir, commanding views of North Leicestershire for many miles. The house has been the ancestral home of the Dukes of Rutland with the family living at Belvoir for almost a thousand years. The land was a gift from William the Conqueror to one of his Normal barons who fought for him at the Battle of Hastings 1066. The house and gardens can be visited with a cafe to take a break.

Belvoir Castle (pronounced "Beaver") is an impressive building that has featured in a number of films. The castle sits in estate grounds of approx 15,000 acres, with the landscaped grounds nearer to the castle open to the public.

Combine a visit to the castle with a picnic, watching the Trent roll by. There are lots of quiet lanes approaching from the south.
