Breath and breath more

As you turn onto Wood Hill, you're greeted by the 11% gradient warning sign, so get ready for the steep drop down into the lovely village of Old Dalby!

The disused Grantham Canal passes through the village and there is a large basin adjacent to the main road. This would have facilitated loading and mooring when the canal was in use. The basin now attracts a substantial population of swans and ducks.

It was built in the 14th century. The chancel was rebuilt in 1845, and the tower in 1873. A general restoration was carried out in 1886.

A good place to start a cycle tour of this end of the Vale of Belvoir. Up to Bottesford and back and finish watching the ducks in the basin.

Cycling friendly cafe just outside Nottingham. The outdoor seating looks over the canal pond next to the cafe, and is great during the summer. The staff are always super friendly. Note that the cafe is closed on some days, so make sure to check out the opening hours before hand.

On the border between the counties of Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, Old Dalby is a lovely village in the rolling Wolds. For centuries, an oak tree, the Turkey Oak, has stood proud on the village green. However, in 2019, it was found to be diseased and has since been pollarded. A number of trails splay out into the surrounding countryside. Old Dalby Wood lies to the south of the village. It is a beautiful place for a walk in spring.

Grimston is a quintessential English village, with a pretty church, a traditional pub and a village green that still includes stocks. The 13th-century St John the Baptist church is Grade II-listed, having been restored in 1856. The Black Horse pub has been serving the village for 400 years. Expect a friendly welcome and good food.

Lovely cafe just off the Grantham canal.

Good cafe set in the lovely village of Hickling. Lots of seating outside. Easy access from the Grantham canal and the vale of Belvoir.

Great cafe plenty of car parking available if needed. Located in between 2 gates of canal tow path.

Great cafe on the wharf

Great cafe for Cyclists, runners, walkers etc. Can highly recommend the Carrot cake !

A lovely place to stop when walking along the Grantham Canal. There is a tea room and pub right next to the basin to refuel.

Friendly cafe. Plenty of space to park the bikes.
