Well designed sculpture, which provides a nice contrast to the pretty natural surroundings (though the immediate area here close to the parking is a bit more 'designed' than other parts along the coast.

To build the railway here cretainly was a challenge for the engineers and builders - a lot of tunnels and slopes to overcome. In the end it looks great to see how the railway winds through this landscape.

A welcoming pub on the outskirts of Manton

Great place with great views

In the second half of 1979 the International Arts Foundation commissioned the sculptor Alexander to produce a large-scale sculpture for Rutland Water. The cost was £50,000 and the site chosen by the landscape artist who designed Rutland Water was the then rather bleak Sykes Lane picnic site. It was cast in London and was then the largest bronze sculpture of modern times.

This iconic church is Rutland's most famous landmark. It was saved from the water and is now open for guided tours that recount the history of this beautiful building and its surroundings and also provides a stunning location for civil weddings and classical concerts.

Nice place to sit

The bit between Manton and the nature/bird watching centre appears to have been re-stoned with a very uncycle-friendly gravel. Too big piece size and not compacted down making it a bit scary for tyres less than 40mm I would say. As walkers and cyclists are only real users, it is unlikely to get better for years.

Keep your eye open for Rutland Sailing Club Open Day and get free sailing and trips out as well as a lovely traffic free ride.

The garden can get rammed, don't worry, there's another pub a bit further on

Just a pretty site to stop and stay at for a minutes breather

The Great Tower is an extremely large bronze sculpture, standing 10 metres high beside Rutland Water.

The church was built in classical style for the Normanton Hall estate on the site of a 14th-century building. Except for the tower, the medieval church was rebuilt in 1764 by Sir Gilbert Heathcote, 3rd Baronet. The church was de-consecrated in 1970, and was to have been demolished as part of the reservoir construction, as its floor was below the proposed water level. Following a public outcry, the lower half was filled with stone and rubble, and a concrete cap constructed just below the level of the windows.

Nice country pub with range of ales. Tables out front and plenty of space for bikes. Open all day but lunchtime food ends at 1430. Traditional pub grub. BUT they do have chicken wings as a small plate or starter. Good humoured staff as well. Good stopping point.

Visit for several reasons. Good cafe with nice food and cakes. Plenty of tables inside and outside in the garden. My pictures of outside tables are not very good it's much nicer than they show. Excellent toilets and bike parking. All this before entering the gardens and paying. But it's also worth visiting the gardens many of which have featured on the BBC.

A maze of quiet lanes to pedal around in the area. A lovely inn, but pricey; the kind of place to go to for a treat.

Great views but very blowy and exposed on a windy day.

Decent amount of out door seating and loads of bike parking space.

Normanton Church was originally known as St. Matthews Church and served as a parish church until the 1700s when the village was mostly demolished to create an estate for the Heathcote Baronets. The church was then used as a private chapel. When the Rutland area was chosen for a new reservoir it was clear the church would be flooded by the water. As a consequence of a large public outcry the church's ground floor was raised above the maximum reservoir level. A causeway was built connecting it to the nearby shore and an embankment was constructed around the building. Boulders were put in place around the church to create a defensive breakwater. The church is now a wedding and events venue.

An iconic and unusual Rutland landmark. Saved from demolition in the 1970's following public protest, the church now seems to float when the lake is full, at other times it seems as if the lower half has sunk completely, as though the church is too heavy for the ground beneath it.
