Kasteel Heeswijk: 8.5 kilometres
This is one of the largest castles in North Brabant. The surroundings are lovely to walk or cycle through. But it's also well worth buying a ticket and seeing it from the inside, with or without a guide. The castle's brasserie is a good place to recharge. It makes a fun outing for a team building activity in Brabant.
