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.

If you into war history the memorial at the gliding club is worth checking out, the Viking way itself is part of the 130 mile route which goes right upto the Humber estuary and this section hosts the Viking challenge each year in October when it’s usually very muddy

One of the top 100 climbs. Fairly short and ramps up as you go easing off after the s bend

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

Regularly explore this end of the Vale of Belvoir lane network and stop at the 'Dirty Duck' pub for lunch. See the duck ornament on the roof and you will understand the name!

Great descent down to the bridge.

Fantastic gravel trail with panoramic views of the Vale of Belvoir to the north and Knipton Reservoir to the south.

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.

Belvoir Castle (pronounced "Beaver") is an impressive building that has featured in a number of films. The castle sits in estate grounds of approx 15,000 acres, with the landscaped grounds nearer to the castle open to the public.

its definitely a leg warmer going up the hill on your bike, visit the castle and get a coffee and cake from the cafe. great views.

A short hill with an average 7% gradient, with a mid-section that reaches 15%. You will have gained about 80 metres elevation at the summit.

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, which you may find suitable for road bikes, depending on your tyre width and comfort levels on a looser surface.

The Grantham Canal closed to boats in 1929 and nature has since reclaimed it. Much of the area is designated as an SSSI as a valuable wetland habitat. Some sections have been re-opened to navigation. The towpath has been rebuilt and forms part of NCN Route 15.

Lovely route, steady climb to the top. A nice watering hole and ice cream is awaiting you.

Be aware of walkers, enjoy the pub at the end

Just watch for walkers
