The Oakham Market Cross or Buttercross is located just behind the town’s market place, where you can buy fresh produce and various other goods every Wednesday and Saturday.

From the village of Upper Hambleton there is a path that takes you round the peninsula. It is around 4m in length.

From the path around the reservoir there are great views across Rutland Water.

The spire of Oakham parish church dominates distant views of the town for several miles in all directions. The impressive west tower and spire, built during the 14th century[1] in the Decorated Gothic style, are slightly earlier in date than most of the rest of the exterior of the building, which (apart from some Victorian restoration) is in the Perpendicular style. Oddly, the south doorway and its porch seem to be the oldest parts of the church, the doorway probably dating from the early 13th century with the porch having been added later that century.[1]

Fairly enjoyable walk. Although many miles spent walking by roadsides with limited/no view of the reservoir. People who follow this route (as I did), please be aware that around 2.7 miles in, the restricted access warning prevented any access of the route whatsoever (unless obtaining permission/key pass). This left me having to detour back up to the main road and added a further 1.5 miles onto my route and a couple of failed attempts trying to get back to the route again. This route is definitely more suited to cyclists, but worth the go on a nice day.

Great for gravel riding. Little traffic.

Dating from the 12th century, the church is essentially Norman with good examples of Norman carving in the chancel arch and the south door. Patterned columns support the doorway.
