Bird watchers will find
good areas close to the house [we see Ospreys most years now] and we are
very close to the bird and nature reserve at Egelton. Rutland
Water has S.S.S.I status and is renowned as one of the best places in
the UK for bird watching. The British
Birdwatching Fair is held annually at Rutland and we are happy to
take bookings for this prestigious event. The dates for 2007 are Friday
15th to Sunday 17th August 2008.
Another
prestigious event, The
Burghley Horse Trials, takes place on the 4-7th Sept 2008..
For Cyclists, the Rutland
Water cycle path [18 or 26 mile circuits] passes our garden.
Water sports are well
catered for at Whitwell, with sailing and windsurfing and there's the
sailing club at Edith Weston on the south shore.
For general holidays, we
are in the middle of one of the most beautiful areas of England, the
ancient county of Rutland is famous for it's rolling countryside,
timeless villages with thatched cottages, village greens and traditional
pubs. Visit the towns of Oakham and Uppingham, and the picturesque
unspoilt villages of Hambleton, Wing, Exton, Braunston etc. and
Stamford, a lovely old market town, is only a few miles away.
There are good places to eat close
by:- The Finches in Hambleton for good food and a friendly atmosphere is
highly recommended as are the White Horse at Empingham, the Noel Arms at
Whitwell, Barnsdale Lodge Hotel, The Plough at Braunston and various
restaurants and take-aways in Oakham. Click
here for our recommendations.

Russia. His knowledge of Rutland Water will be a valuable reason to
choose The Lodge for your stay in Rutland. We now offer fly

FOR 2008
'FISHING WITH THE EXPERTS' guided fishing www.rutlandwaterflyfishing.co.uk
and corporate
activity fishing days.
For the
fisherman Rutland Water is world famous for the quality of it's trout
fishing and whether the fish are obliging or infuriating you will always
have a rewarding day from the bank or boat. You will find a good
selection of angling books etc. and we've decorated one room with
pictures, flies etc. with the angler in mind [we are all fishers in this
house]. Just a short stroll away from the house are Barnsdale Road
End, Barnsdale Creek, Steep Bank [Cardiac Hill??], Dickinson's Bay,
Burley Reach etc. all very good hot spots, and don't forget Tim
Appleton's for the big Brownies! Rob, who fishes most days can
usually let you know the latest method, flies or catching place, some
days you can see fish rising from the house! We offer a drying
room, freezer, a packed lunch and smoking facilities if required.
All tackle and flies, from size 22 dries to some more elaborate
concoctions, are available from the fishing lodge at Normanton.
Please let us know any
special requirements and what time you would like breakfast, if you come
late, please try to be as quiet as possible, if you want to smoke please
do so outside and we hope to see you again, soon!
Enjoy your
stay!
