벨튼 인 러틀랜드 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Keep close to the brakes as there is a road at the bottom and often horses

Epic descent into the fields..

A great area to visit if you like short, sharp hills. Very scenic and pretty quiet.

Nestled in a serene valley above the river Chater, this grand Tudor house was originally commissioned by Thomas Cromwell on the site of a former priory. Cromwell acquired the estate during the Dissolution of the Monasteries but enjoyed it only briefly before his execution in 1540. Known as Launde, indicating a clearing in the Rutland forest, the house currently serves as a Christian retreat and conference centre for the Leicester and Peterborough dioceses of the Church of England.

Mostly OK in a wet October but there was one steep and super slippery hill that I had to walk up. It would be ace in drier weather

Fabulous Church with some very old features. Usually open. Belton-in-Rutland was a settlement in the Leighfield forest which explains it's precise square layout, with the houses used like wagon trains circled around a clearing to protect livestock

Interesting history & a good climb in either direction.

If you're enjoying a view of Launde Abbey - a Christian retreat and conference centre, you're about to work for it - enjoy the climb up and out!
