마켓 오버톤‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 호수

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.

Scenic spot where the road crosses the dammed stream that forms the lakes.

Watch out for the cross winds here. The grass nearest the dam has a concrete lattice embedded, goff for mtb and gravel bikes alike.

Construction of Rutland Water began in 1971 and took nearly five years to complete. The main part of the project was to build the dam wall, made of compacted clay excavated from pits within the area of the reservoir. The dam is 35 metres high, up to 810 metres wide at its base, and 1200 metres long.

Fort Henry is a gothic folly, sitting beside a large lake often adorned with water lilies in the heart of Exton Park. Built in 1788 for Henry, Earl of Gainsborough, Fort Henry is located on private grounds, as are the shores of the larger, Northern lake. The public footpath circumnavigates the smaller lake to the South.

Perfect picnic spot - FYI, The north shore is private property.

If you are walking/cycling the full circuit on the track note that Barnsdale parking is £3 compared to £10 at the other car parks and the best refreshments are at the Rutland Nurseries Cafe between Manton and the Lynton reserve, or the Horse & Jockey pub in Manton who finished their refurbishment last week.
