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.

Ride anticlockwise from Whitwell car park, visit Picks Barn Cafe for refreshments

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.

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.

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

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.

Best photo opportunity on the peninsula!

Epic descent into the fields..

Often a portaloo situated here (For the fishermen)

Nestled in a serene valley above the river Chater, this grand Tudor house was originally commissioned by Thomas Cromwell on the site of a former priory. Cromwell acquired the estate during the Dissolution of the Monasteries but enjoyed it only briefly before his execution in 1540. Known as Launde, indicating a clearing in the Rutland forest, the house currently serves as a Christian retreat and conference centre for the Leicester and Peterborough dioceses of the Church of England.

Great decent, watch out for the tree roots

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

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

Less used than the paths along the north or south shores of Rutland Water, so fewer others to steer around, but still giving great views. If you prefer tarmac, there's an almost empty lane down the centre of the peninsular to its tip (which used to connect to Edith Weston).
