Location:
This converted stable accommodation is attached to a 17th C Grade II listed cottage in the centre of the attractive rural village of Plungar in the Vale of Belvoir, on the Nottinghamshire-Leicestershire border. Plungar is ideally situated for visiting attractions in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, and Rutland Water is less than one hour's drive away. Belvoir Castle, Belton House, Woolsthorpe Manor (Isaac Newton's house), Nottingham Castle and Newstead Abbey (home of Lord Byron) are all within easy reach. Nearby sporting facilities include the National Watersports Centre at Holme Pierrepoint, parachuting and go-karting at Langar aerodrome, and numerous local fishing sites. The Vale of Belvoir provides easy walking in an attractive rural setting, with woodland routes and towpath walks along the Nottingham-Grantham canal. Cycling and horse riding are other popular local activities. There is a leisure centre in Bingham, approximately 6 miles away. The easiest way to find Plungar is from the A52 between Nottingham and Grantham. From the A52 to the east of Bingham take the road to the south signposted Granby and Plungar. The road leads via a series of straight sections and sharp bends to Granby. Go straight through Granby and follow the straight road to Plungar. Enter Plungar over a humpback bridge and continue to the first crossroads. The Forge is a white painted cottage on the left, diagonally opposite the Anchor Inn.
The area is well served by inns and restaurants and there are village shops and petrol stations in Stathern and Harby (each approximately 2 miles away). Bingham (see above) has a greater range of shops and also take-away restaurants. Bingham also has a weekly market and monthly Farmer's Market.
