An absolute pleasure to return here!
Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Also, many places to leave your bike in sight from the cafe.
Staff is always pleasant friendly and helpful.
The menu is classic but very good value and staff are knowledgeable and very happy to adapt stuff for dietary requirements. The food came quickly even on a busy day and was fresh and tasty.
Beautiful location too!

Woolsthorpe Manor

Highlight • Historical Site

Woolsthorpe Manor looks like a typical Lincolnshire farmhouse. This is where Isaac Newton was born, grew up and made some of his most important discoveries that changed our understanding of the world.

When the plague struck in 1665, Newton came home to Woolsthorpe Manor where he did some of the most revolutionary maths and physics of his age.

Currently entry to the house is only available on a pre-booking basis.

Belvoir Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

A delightful coffee van parked in the visitor car park of Belvoir castle. Surrounded by wooden benches and with a stunning view across the vale of Belvoir its the perfect outdoors cafe stop. Despite being a van they have use of the Belvoir castle visitor toilets even when the castle is closed to the public. However, it is all outside so potentially less suitable for very bad weather days unless you wrap up warm in anticipation.
The staff are awesome! Friendly, chatty and enthusiastic, I visited alone but immediately felt like I had made some new friends.
The coffee is amazing. They serve a variety of coffees and have multiple dairy free milk options available at no extra cost. For cold drinks they serve the classic Belvoir sparkling beverages chilled fresh from the chiller. The food is equally delicious. A fresh daily selection of traybakes, cakes, and cookies, there's something for every taste including vegans! On this occasion, I went for the Bakewell tart and must say Bakewell has some competition here.
Before you visit do quickly check there Facebook page or website as they are not always at Belvoir castle. I have been informed that they intend to increase there opening days though.

Terrace Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A great hill climb tucked away in the Vale of Belvoir. On a nice quiet road with a varied gradient, some twists and beautifully shaded in the trees. Perfect for adding a bit of elevation to a normally flat route or a great place to ramp up the pace in a hill climb challenge.
