ワカーリーでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Excellent coffee and cakes

Nestled in the Welland Valley, Barrowden is an idyllic Rutland village. There is fantastic walking to the north around Rutland Water, while Wakerley Great Wood and Fineshade Wood both boast a network of trails to the southeast. Two long-distance trails pass through the village: the Jurassic Way and the Rutland Round. Walkers can find fuel and refreshment at the Exeter Arms.

There's much for outdoor lovers to enjoy in Fineshade Wood, with walking trails, family bike trails, running routes and kids' adventure trails. There's a visitor centre where you can find out more about the woodland. It's part of what was once Rockingham Forest, a vast royal hunting ground.

A historic ancient woodland, Wakerley Great Wood boasts an extensive network of unmarked trails to explore, picnic areas and information boards. Dogs are permitted on the trails but it is important to follow the principles of the countryside code. The Jurassic Way long-distance trail passes through the woodland.

Great place a family to hire bikes to ride around the numerous cycle paths through the forest

Lovely courtyard to eat some delicious ice cream.

If you need to hire bikes the prices seem reasonable and there's a nice cafe

street clear of the quarry
