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.

Little Treats coffee van at Belvoir Castle

Highlight • Rest Area

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.

The Fuel Tank Café at Belvoir Castle

Highlight • Restaurant

Nice cafe/restaurant at Belvoir castle. Plenty of bike parking feels fairly safe on a busy day but may want to bring a cafe lock on a quieter day as the bikes aren't visible from inside. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with smaller and large tables suitable for most group sizes. Can be very busy with cyclists and the public on a nice day. Service was a little slow but think they may have been training some new staff as a few of the staff seemed inexperienced, however, felt welcomed as a cyclist. The food looked excellent although was lacking in vegan options, there was a gluten-free victoria sponge though and the drinks were decent. Food and drink were priced as expected from a busy independent cafe.
