Tips from the Community

While the village of Stilton is renowned for its namesake cheese, production is restricted to Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire due to Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) regulations [1]. However, visitors can still immerse themselves in the cheese's rich history by visiting the Bell Inn, a historic coaching inn where Stilton cheese was first sold in the 18th century [2]. For a unique experience, plan your visit around the Stilton Cheese Rolling Festival, held every May, where participants roll wheels of cheese through the village streetsβ€”a delightful tradition celebrating the village's heritage.

This lane features on the Cicle Classic pro race, and Owston is a hub for this event. The lane is narrow and undulating, but a very enjoyable ride - even on narrow tyres.

Burrough Hill (210m) commands views over the surrounding countryside for miles around. A great place for a hill fort as discovered back in the early Iron age.
