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.

An avenue of poplar trees leads to Vimy Ridge Farm. This was originally called Pasture Hill Farm, but was purchased in 1919 by Sir Jesse William Hind and renamed to commemorate his son, Lt. Francis Montagu Hind who was killed in action on 27 September 1916 at the Battle of the Somme. The memorial also included an avenue of 184 Lombardy Poplars lining the drive to the farm, the number of trees representing the number of officers and men of the 9th Battalion The Sherwood Foresters Regiment who died during the battle over the period 7 July to 30 November of 1916. The original poplars were successively felled, due to their age and height becoming a hazard, but were replaced by new planting of the same species as part of the village of Kinoulton's 2000 Millennium celebrations. The farm itself has been derelict for many years, and its current state of decay makes it look as if it could have been transplanted from the battlefield from which it takes its name.

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.

The church dates from 1793 and was built in the Classical style for Henry Noel, 6th Earl of Gainsborough. It replaced a church dedicated to St Wilfred which was located to the north of Kinoulton Lane. Although the building was demolished, the churchyard remains and contains a group of 34 headstones dating from the 1700s.

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.
