we went to visit, just because we had an hour to kill. little did i know that we would find a true working mill! Nigel Moon - a true living image of windy miller - was more than happy to tell us the history of this great working mill and let us climb up into the upper levels of the tower. Would loved to have been able to buy some flour but as we live overseas it wasn’t really possible. But talking to Mr Moon has made me more determined to buy quality bread or even try to make it myself! great place to take children

Ladies, you know who you are!! Thank you so much for all of your support on Saturday and Sunday last weekend. Lyndon Visitor Centre is a must for looking at Ospreys. There is a webcam that can be viewed from the Rutland and Leicestershire Wildlife Trust Website where you're able to watch the infamous 33 & Maya reunite in March after wintering in West Africa. Nature takes it course and eggs and chicks soon follow and you're able to watch every moment of their development until they fledge. Anyone interested in this and the conservation of the Ospreys can visit Lyndon and see the birds in person (So to speak) This is effectively a private part of Rutland Water where you're able to take a stroll down to the hide, where you can sit and view the Ospreys. We did the Osprey Cruise in the Saturday evening on the Rutland Belle. This is a guided tour and the crew and ladies from Lyndon point out the Ospreys in flight and out catching fish. All of this is amazing, but it is topped off by the two ladies who provided the information during the cruise and were also at the visitor centre on the Sunday. Thank you both for the telephone calls on the build up to the weekend and for all of your help and support to help us socially distance so that we were able to have a fabulous experience.

We had a warm, helpful and informative welcome at the Lynton visitor centre - well organised re COVID precautions - and saw 3 osprey before tea time on our first day at Rutland Water. At the end of the visit we noticed the mini season ticket, for 4 visits to the reserves over 10 days, and the volunteer helpfully let us top up to this from our day ticket. That let us have a return visit to Lynton & two x half days at the other reserve. Lovely settings, very peaceful, and we still didn't get round to all of the hides. One highlight was a heron, fairly close, demonstrating how to line up and swallow a trout.

Rutland Water covers 4,200 acres of open countryside. The park offers everything from walking and cycling to fishing and watersports. There is also our fantastic nature reserve, managed by the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust and home to the Rutland Osprey Project. Expert or novice, everything you need to make the most of your visit is right here, including cycle hire and expert tuition on boat handling. And of course, you will also find a choice of places to enjoy a cuppa or a bite to eat.

The splendid Great Hall of Oakham Castle is one of the finest Norman Halls in England. The Hall is best known for its collection of enormous commemorative Horseshoes donated by members of the Royal Family and Peers of the Realm. It is also decorated with a range of 12th century sculptures. The grounds of the Castle are a peaceful oasis in the centre of Oakham.

Amazing collection of horseshoes and lovely stories about them from our volunteer guide Jim! Free entry and parking. Highly recommended.
