A really enjoyable read, and an inspiring , relaxing video, highlighting the treasures of Rutland area. I’m looking forward to walking around Rutland Waters with Katie when I next visit . Something to look forward to and enjoy. We are both blessed living in lovely, surroundings.
As ever, an interesting piece. For an exhilarating ridge walk in Rutland, I reckon you can't do better than the path that starts at the junction of the A6003 & the Manton turn-off. Follow it through the earthworks marking the deserted village of Martinsthorpe, on to Brooke & back again. Wonderful spacious views.
Thank you Stephen. I confess I haven’t walked that route but have looked at it on the map. Will make a point of walking that way. Many thanks for the recommendation.
Gary, you might then know of Danny. A dome-like hill to the south of Hurstpierpoint College. I took my partner Sharon there last summer and hiked to the top, retracing a walk we did every Ascension Day from the school.
A lovely piece Gary and l agree, chalk downland is unbeatable.
Chalk in the soul, Ken! ❤️

Thank you Ruth. Enjoy the walk with your family.
One of my favourite walks and I like to incorporate the "height" and imposing arches of the Harringworth viaduct
Thank you Rowena. The Harringworth Viaduct is very impressive, as you say, and I regularly wander above and below it.

I remember you were at Hurst, Peter. I don’t know that specific spot by name, but I will have walked that stretch many times.
