Marlen’s guidebook
Sightseeing
Drive at 30 mph and you'll pass through the tiny village of Whitwell in less than a minute. It was named after the spring which flows from beneath the village church called 'the white spring, or 'the white well'.
With just 67 inhabitants, a pub, an historical church and a unique eco-friendly house you might just ask, why head here? Although small, it is twinned with Paris and the pub the Noel Arms offers food, wines, local brews plus a little more - a warm welcome. New owners (26 June 2023) Karen and Kevin are aiming at making the pub family-friendly, whilst catering for those that leave their city life behind to find a place to rest and unwind.
There are plenty of great walks to attract those looking to enjoy the great outdoors as well as cycling, fishing, sailing and bird watching .
The Rutland Belle is a family-run business that operates boat trips around the lake of Rutland Water during daylight hours from April to October each year. Staring from Whitwell on the North Shore, she calls in at Normanton on the South Shore. Visitors can enjoy the scenery from the water, amidst the sailors, anglers and waterbirds, whilst listening to commentary highlighting points of interest. Drinks/Tea & Coffee: are available from the licensed bar in the aft saloon. Meals are available at venues nearby.
Rutland as a county has lots to offer visitors also with two quaint towns of Oakham and Uppingham.
Uppingham is famed for it’s antiques and galleries, whilst the county town of Oakham offers a great mix of quality high street and independent shops – not to mention a castle!
Close by and within walking distance is Exton, we'd recommend visiting the Fox and Hound, publican owner Simon has injected a great offering for delicious food!
