Nice caffè just outside the castle. Cyclist friendly

Always a must

Lovely coffee food and atmosphere

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.

You will find Woolsthorpe Lock on the end of the fabulously named Dirty Duck Lane. The bridge over the Grantham Canal provides a fantastic viewpoint to take in a rest from your ride, as does the nearby Rutland Arms pub on Woolsthorpe Wharf. There is a good quality gravel towpath alongside the canal.

Note: The nice little independent Cafe Allez has now been replaced by the castle run coffee shop so they could cut out the people who built it up from nothing. Up to you if you want to give them your business.

Good climb out of the village towards Sproxton

Nice steady climb through the trees up towards Belvoir Castle.

Also the location of a round of the National Firework Championships each August. A great event, with 4 x 10 minute displays. Well worth going there around the time that this is on. Some challenging climbs around here, with the flat Vale of Belvoir, if you like easier rides.

Woolsthorpe Lock, on the Grantham Canal, is a picturesque place to stop for a moment. Nestling among stunning countryside, it is a lovely spot to while away some time. If you fancy a drink, the Dirty Duck pub on the opposite bank has a large garden beside the water and also serves food.

Good menu with plenty of choice. Loads of outdoor seating. Quick service and not expensive. There is a gravel road you need to ride to get to the lodge, it’s easy enough on a road bike.

Think this is now called Kingfisher lodge. Good food, quick service and fair pricing.

Great stop even during lockdown of Covid 19

Quaint little English village with coffee on sale at the post office

Lovely views and some nice hills to train on. Excellent rest point at Cafe Allez. Well worth planning a ride round here.

Really good cycling friendly cafe. Really friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home. Food is not overpriced and good quality.

Great little café with a cycling theme.

The castle was used as a film set, among other things. In the film "The Little Lord" the building represented the castle of the Dorincourt family. In the film The Da Vinci Code, Belvoir Castle was the summer residence of Pope Castel Gandolfo, and the castle was also used as a backdrop for The Ghost Castle. The listed castle is also open to visitors. The rooms house important works of art.

Open Thursday mornings until 12:30, usual cooked breakfast, Home made cakes etc

A delightful coffee van parked in the visitor car park of Belvoir castle. Surrounded by wooden benches and with a stunning view across the vale of Belvoir its the perfect outdoors cafe stop. Despite being a van they have use of the Belvoir castle visitor toilets even when the castle is closed to the public. However, it is all outside so potentially less suitable for very bad weather days unless you wrap up warm in anticipation. The staff are awesome! Friendly, chatty and enthusiastic, I visited alone but immediately felt like I had made some new friends. The coffee is amazing. They serve a variety of coffees and have multiple dairy free milk options available at no extra cost. For cold drinks they serve the classic Belvoir sparkling beverages chilled fresh from the chiller. The food is equally delicious. A fresh daily selection of traybakes, cakes, and cookies, there's something for every taste including vegans! On this occasion, I went for the Bakewell tart and must say Bakewell has some competition here. Before you visit do quickly check there Facebook page or website as they are not always at Belvoir castle. I have been informed that they intend to increase there opening days though.
