The clatter of coffee cups and low morning conversation drifts up from the bar below, mingling with the scent of a proper cooked breakfast — you're staying at a working inn, and it shows.

The Fox suits anyone after a comfortable base in the Grantham area without the full camping commitment — guest house rooms for those who want a door that locks and a hot shower on tap, plus a camping pod or two if you fancy something a bit more outdoorsy but still sheltered. It's an unusual hybrid, frankly, but it works if you're exploring this corner of south Lincolnshire, passing through on your way to the Fens or the Wolds, or visiting family nearby. Anglers sometimes use it as a springboard for Stretton Lakes, just down the road.

Open year-round, so it's there when tents won't cut it in January. Dog policy varies — ask when you book. Campfires depend on where you're pitched, so check on arrival. The vibe is practical rather than scenic: warm, unpretentious, the sort of place that does what it says without any fuss.

The Danelaw Way

Traces a 124-mile historic border between Saxon and Viking territories from Rutland Water to the Humber Bridge. Expect varied terrain – rolling farmland, ancient woodland, and riverside paths with gentle to moderate climbs throughout. Suitable for experienced walkers tackling sections; too long and challenging for young children or buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Perfect for history buffs wanting a multi-day adventure through England's Anglo-Saxon heritage, passing medieval villag

Rutland Round

Circles England's smallest county over 105km of mixed terrain, traversing rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and the shoreline of Rutland Water. Expect moderate climbs, stiles, and potentially mudgy sections after rain. Not suitable for buggies or very young children due to length and varied terrain. Dogs welcome but must be under control near livestock. Offers stunning reservoir views, charming stone villages, and a real sense of rural Rutland's character across multiple days of walking.

Mowbray Way

Follows flat to gently rolling farmland and quiet lanes across the Vale of Belvoir between Melton Mowbray and Waltham on the Wolds. Mostly easy terrain on field edges and minor roads, though muddy after rain and some stiles may challenge buggies – better suited to confident walkers aged 8+. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth it for big Leicestershire skies, peaceful countryside, and connecting two charming market towns with proper pub stops at each end.
