フェントンのおすすめツーリングルート

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.

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.

Balderton Lake is a reclaimed sand and gravel pit which now also features a wooded area and grassland with walkways.

Can get somewhat busy with pedestrians but a lovely ride

Lovely views into the valley. Really nice to stop here.

Stunning view into the valley below from the tiny village of Gelston.

Great beer stop
