バルコートのおすすめライド

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

An easily spotted landmark when riding the lanes west of Grantham. There's a great flattish run from Harby through the vale to Bottesford or ride up (and down) onto the ridge on which the castle stands for some great, short climbs.

Fantastic cafe, make it part of your route.

Lovely coffee and cake. Dog friendly.

lovely riverside route.

An impressive building - the architecture may be typical for the end of 19th/ beginning of 20th century

Friendly, cosy cafe in Goverton, near Bleasby. There are around 5 cycle racks with very small locks and key so you can lock your cycle up without worrying about it being stolen. The coffee and Chocolate orange cake were delicious! The tea shoppe has a beautiful enclosed garden full of flowers and wild birds. There is a toilet available to use. I would definitely recommend stopping by here for a coffee when on a ride. Visited in April 2025, opening hours are Wednesday - Sunday, 9am-4pm.
