This all depends on how adventurous you are feeling! We offer trails for those looking for a short adventure and those that are looking to venture even further.

Check out our three trails:

• Family trail – 8 miles.
  • Start at Whitwell and cycle to Normanton enjoying fantastic views of the church and the water. The route is flat, tarmac and all off-road (can be done in reverse). 

• Peninsula trail – 15 miles.
  • For those feeling a little fitter! Start at Whitwell and Head to Oakham following the signs for Hambleton Peninsula. Loop the Peninsula and return. The route covers mixed terrain and has a few hills. At times the cycle track runs next to the road. 

• Full Rutland Water lap – 23 miles (including the Peninsula) 17 miles (excluding Peninsula).
  • Take a day and enjoy all that Rutland has on offer. Start from any of our car parks and follow the route all the way round! You will pass through villages, woodland and enjoy spectacular views. we highly recommend a stop to see the Rutland Ospreys at the Lyndon Visitor Centre on your way round!
