Rutland Waters


Recommended Posts


I believe Rutland used to be Englands smallest county but it's now part of Lincolnshire or Leicestershire Melton Mowbray is pork pie central.

 

Edited to say it still is a county according to Wikipedia only the city of London which is classed as a county is smaller well I never new that.

Been quite a few times. If cycling round and u have a bike then park at pub car park in village before one of the shores. South I think. You don't have to pay plus when you've done the ride round you can have meal and a pint without having to get on bike for a final mile or 2!

 

As has been said Oakham Stamford and uppingham all nice.

Good stuff thanks for all the suggestions chaps :thumbs: ......its just a bit of relaxing/romantic time supposedly :icon_redface:.....i cant imagine my ol woman getting on a bike unless its bolted down in a gym.....but sounds a nice place to breath some good air into the lungs and let the mind wander.....cheers.
