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.

Heritage Lottery funded 'Reconnecting Grantham' highly accessible and well maintained extensive walks through woodland and pasture. Cattle grazing parts of the area so encounters are likely.

Woodland popular with dog walkers, lots of bird spotting opportunities including greater spotted and green woodpeckers. Links to Woodland Trust Woodland and walks for a nice circular route.

Short uphill stomp from 5 Gates Lane car park to this historic tower; stand under it for stunning views over NT Belton House parkland, then head beyond it for lovely woodland walks.

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.
