バロウビーでののおすすめライド

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)

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.

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

Always a must

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

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

NT doesn't encourage cycling in the wider estate, but it's straightforward to cycle through in either direction from the main entrance along the newly resurfaced mile long South Drive and through the (time controlled) pedestrian gate onto Belton Lane. Recently they've been giving out coffee vouchers to people arriving on foot or by cycle at the entrance booths near the car park. They're trying to encourage low carbon visitors.

Cafe provides excellent food at reasonable prices. Plenty of outside seats and bike racks. Only 1 toilet so expect to que. Well worth a stop on your ride.

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

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.

Also the location for Windmill Wheels (Road) Bike Shop

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!

Great food, excellet place to stop off at on your bike ride

lovely coffee shop, outdoor seating, home make cafes, great coffee, cyclists welcomed

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. More information can be found here: https://www.belvoircastle.com/

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

Fantastic knowledge and service. FYI Not open Sunday
