Belvoir morning

Castle to canalside — a slow, scenic east-county loop.

Sunday's plan 56 min driving · 23.5 mi

2 stops, plotted to loop back where you started.

A Sunday with a heritage focus and under an hour of driving total makes this a very manageable day out. Both stops reward a slow pace, so there is no need to rush between them.
