Colston Bassett Stilton is one of the finest traditional Stilton cheeses. It's produced here by the Colston Bassett Dairy, dating as far back as 1913. The diary has a shop where you can buy the cheese direct - it's known for its rich, creamy texture and well-balanced blue veining.

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.

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.

Built of ironstone with limestone dressings and dates from c1300, from which period only the arcade with alternating octagonal and circular piers and double-chamfered arches remain.

Nice cafe, good value. Tucked away down a little industrial estate. Has a bike rack and big tables for larger groups.
