We are privileged to be able to plan our ride through the magnificent grounds and surroundings of Belvoir Castle and the round route is approximately 15 miles in length. Starting in the castle grounds the ride takes us through what is acknowledged to be one of the most picturesque routes in the East Midlands. Then along Jubilee Way and across the private castle grounds, riding close to Knipton reservoir and on through wooded and open countryside with magnificent views in all directions. Watering holes will be at the Wheel Inn, Branston and at the end of the ride. Directions to Belvoir Castle can be provided should these be required.
