스킬링턴 최고의 사이클링 경로

추가적인 반도 부분도 꼭 타보세요. 아름다운 Hambleton과 우리가 머물렀던 Hambleton Hall을 지나갑니다. 비거주자에게도 개방되는 훌륭한 미슐랭 스타 레스토랑이 있습니다.

멋진 전망과 함께 환상적인 2-3시간 라이딩이었습니다. 풀 EMTB가 아닌 일반 전동 자전거를 대여해서 갔는데 훌륭했고, 물가에서 떨어진 곳에는 언덕 구간도 있었습니다.

The spire of Oakham parish church dominates distant views of the town for several miles in all directions. The impressive west tower and spire, built during the 14th century[1] in the Decorated Gothic style, are slightly earlier in date than most of the rest of the exterior of the building, which (apart from some Victorian restoration) is in the Perpendicular style. Oddly, the south doorway and its porch seem to be the oldest parts of the church, the doorway probably dating from the early 13th century with the porch having been added later that century.[1]

The castle was built between 1180 and 1190 by Walkelin de Ferrers, lord of the manor of Oakham, and a great nephew of Robert de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Derby.[1] The Great Hall comprises a nave and two arcaded aisles, each with three large stone columns. There are a number of 12th-century sculptures decorating the hall including six musicians that are supported by the columns. The sculptures are carved from local stone quarried at Clipsham and are believed to have been made by masons who had also worked at Canterbury Cathedral.[2]
