A fantastic short gravel route or combine with Rutland Water cycle path and beyond for a bigger ride. Rutland has some hidden gems

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.

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.

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.

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).

Amazing place to walk no matter the weather no hills or muddy places, mainly asphalt. Plenty of places to stop for a break (coffee/tea/snacks) and plenty of benches if you have brought your own refreshments
