러틀랜드 워터 주변 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Nice and easy hike on the man path, while some of the smaller ones canbe a bit owegrown an soggy. ood change of scenery to make a walk here more varied.

Great area for a hike. If you do not want to go the full circle alternatives to walking back on the same track are a bit limited.

Narrow forest path, can be a bit muddy in places and slightly overgrown.

Nice view over the reservoir, but this is actually true for most parts of the path along the shore.

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

St Andrew's Church is the Church of England parish church of Hambleton, Rutland. It is a Grade II* listed building.

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

The village stands on the Hambleton Peninsula between arms of the Rutland Water reservoir.

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.

Compact gravel in the drier days and mud in the wet ones.

This ancient woodland was partly destroyed through construction of the reservoir. It is a neglected coppice of the Peterken Ash-Maple, Ash-Hazel, Pedunculate Oak-Hazel and Invasive Elm types but has been partly planted with conifers.

Was fine for us in a wet May

The path starts from the side of the village hall

Great place for a picnic stop

mud guards win here

A chance to have fun in the mud

Barnsdale Woods offers a little change of scenery from the open views across much of the route around Rutland Water. The ancient woodland (now partly replanted with conifers) covers 28 ha and is part of the Rutland Water SSSI. The wood formerly lay within a Medieval deer park.

Great hiking spot. There's also a path closer to the waters edge

Generally the quietest part of the Rutland Water route. No facilities may contribute to this.
