러틀랜드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪3‬개의 천연기념물

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.

Ketton Quarry is very much still a working limestone site, but the nature reserve covers the parts of the area that have been reclaimed by nature. Grassland, scrub and woodland are making the most of the hills and holes formed by quarrying. This makes it an excellent site for butterflies, moths, wildflowers and reptiles, so this is seen at its best when visited in summer. It is one of the best sites in the area for both Adders and Grass Snakes and also supports a colony of Glow-worms. Some interesting geology has also be uncovered.

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.

go through the woods on your steed, youll be rewarding with some secret singletrack

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.
