グレートゴナービーのおすすめツーリングルート

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.

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.

Always a must

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

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.

Great location to grab a bite to eat or mooch around the shops.
