All Saints' Church, Oakham

Highlight • Monument

All Saints is a Grade I-listed parish church in the heart of Oakham. The church chiefly dates to the 15th century but there are older parts. The porch was built in the 13th century, as was the north chapel arcade. Inside, you can view a 13th-century circular stone font decorated with blind arcading and topped with a late 19th-century wooden cover. The choir stalls, pulpit and brass lectern all date to the 19th century.

Rutland Water Peninsula Gravel Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Less used than the paths along the north or south shores of Rutland Water, so fewer others to steer around, but still giving great views. If you prefer tarmac, there's an almost empty lane down the centre of the peninsular to its tip (which used to connect to Edith Weston).
