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.

Blatherwycke Lake is part of the estate and not easily accessed. There is a footpath which passes at this point, but the landowners don't like people enjoying the area.

not the worlds biggest climb up the hill there but my legs felt it - take it steady

Nestled in the Welland Valley, Barrowden is an idyllic Rutland village. There is fantastic walking to the north around Rutland Water, while Wakerley Great Wood and Fineshade Wood both boast a network of trails to the southeast. Two long-distance trails pass through the village: the Jurassic Way and the Rutland Round. Walkers can find fuel and refreshment at the Exeter Arms.

A lovely 102-acre (41 ha) country park, East Carlton is located near the town of Corby. It was once a deer park centred around a historic hall. The present iteration was built in 1870 in an Italianate style with French pavilion roofs. Today, the park contains beautiful woodland, small lakes, a dinosaur safari, a campsite, heritage centre and a cafe.

Lovely place for a picnic, but be aware that most of the routes out involve some serious climbing for this part of the world. Like Norfolk, not all Rutland is as flat as many think.

Tearooms & shop with views

Great views from most of the way round. Don’t try and ride up to the reservoir from the south side (between Caldecott and Great Easton) or you’ll get very told off for trespassing at the reservoir wall!
