Great walks around belton country park

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.

Not a lot to be seen from the road but a very pretty location tucked down the lane in its little valley.

Popular National Trust property. If you are lucky you may see a cricket match being played in front of the house during the summer. Standard over priced and busy cafe.

Belton House, completed in 1688 is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a wooded park. It is a National Trust property, so free for members to visit. Cafe facilities and so much to see and do.

Woolsthorpe Manor looks like a typical Lincolnshire farmhouse. This is where Isaac Newton was born, grew up and made some of his most important discoveries that changed our understanding of the world. When the plague struck in 1665, Newton came home to Woolsthorpe Manor where he did some of the most revolutionary maths and physics of his age. Currently entry to the house is only available on a pre-booking basis.

The Grantham Canal closed to boats in 1929 and nature has since reclaimed it. Much of the area is designated as an SSSI as a valuable wetland habitat. Some sections have been re-opened to navigation. The towpath has been rebuilt and forms part of NCN Route 15.

Be aware of walkers, enjoy the pub at the end
