This rural escape is the perfect place to spend time enjoying the great outdoors. Rutland Water’s beautiful 3,100-acre reservoir has an international reputation for providing a balance of sport, leisure and wildlife conservation and offers everyone the opportunity to try something new, like cycling along miles of traffic free paths, sailing, windsurfing, fishing, rock climbing, canoeing, golf, a nature reserve and bird sanctuary.

The quaint towns of Stamford and Uppingham offer a range of individual boutiques, antiques and galleries for the most discerning visitors, whilst the county town of Oakham offers a great mix of quality high street and independent shops – not to mention beautiful historic architectural buildings and a castle. While Rutland’s many attractive villages, set in the wonderful English countryside, are home to picture postcard cottages and traditional country pubs.

Just a short walk down the avenue from Barnsdale Lodge is the late Geoff Hamilton's famous Barnsdale Gardens. You can also enjoy a visit to Burghley House or the events at Rockingham Castle.
