An easily spotted landmark when riding the lanes west of Grantham. There's a great flattish run from Harby through the vale to Bottesford or ride up (and down) onto the ridge on which the castle stands for some great, short climbs.

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

Friendly, cosy cafe in Goverton, near Bleasby. There are around 5 cycle racks with very small locks and key so you can lock your cycle up without worrying about it being stolen. The coffee and Chocolate orange cake were delicious! The tea shoppe has a beautiful enclosed garden full of flowers and wild birds. There is a toilet available to use. I would definitely recommend stopping by here for a coffee when on a ride. Visited in April 2025, opening hours are Wednesday - Sunday, 9am-4pm.

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.
