에디스 웨스턴 주변 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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.

Well designed sculpture, which provides a nice contrast to the pretty natural surroundings (though the immediate area here close to the parking is a bit more 'designed' than other parts along the coast.

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.

Those who like to play war might like it, but seems more like a disturbance of the nice nature around here.

Nice view over the reservoir, but this is actually true for most parts of the path along the shore.

From the village of Upper Hambleton there is a path that takes you round the peninsula. It is around 4m in length.

St Andrew's Church is the Church of England parish church of Hambleton, Rutland. It is a Grade II* listed building.

From the path around the reservoir there are great views across Rutland Water.

The village stands on the Hambleton Peninsula between arms of the Rutland Water reservoir.

Great place with great views

In the second half of 1979 the International Arts Foundation commissioned the sculptor Alexander to produce a large-scale sculpture for Rutland Water. The cost was £50,000 and the site chosen by the landscape artist who designed Rutland Water was the then rather bleak Sykes Lane picnic site. It was cast in London and was then the largest bronze sculpture of modern times.

This iconic church is Rutland's most famous landmark. It was saved from the water and is now open for guided tours that recount the history of this beautiful building and its surroundings and also provides a stunning location for civil weddings and classical concerts.

Lots of bike racks. Great food and coffee. Outdoor coffee hut in summer months.

Fairly enjoyable walk. Although many miles spent walking by roadsides with limited/no view of the reservoir. People who follow this route (as I did), please be aware that around 2.7 miles in, the restricted access warning prevented any access of the route whatsoever (unless obtaining permission/key pass). This left me having to detour back up to the main road and added a further 1.5 miles onto my route and a couple of failed attempts trying to get back to the route again. This route is definitely more suited to cyclists, but worth the go on a nice day.

Good traction for running, a little easier on the knees, avoid the busy path as well

Compact gravel in the drier days and mud in the wet ones.

The Great Tower is an extremely large bronze sculpture, standing 10 metres high beside Rutland Water.

Dating from the 12th century, the church is essentially Norman with good examples of Norman carving in the chancel arch and the south door. Patterned columns support the doorway.

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.
