Giant Bike Store — Rutland Water

Lovely Giant/Liv store with a huge range of cycling products. Beautiful location on the South side of Rutland Water. Also feature bike hire if you drive there and fancy a spin around the local bike paths.

Normanton Church

Highlight • Monument

An iconic and unusual Rutland landmark. Saved from demolition in the 1970's following public protest, the church now seems to float when the lake is full, at other times it seems as if the lower half has sunk completely, as though the church is too heavy for the ground beneath it.

The Market Overton Community Shop

Highlight • Rest Area

Very friendly village shop which I believe is owned and run by the village community. Fresh sandwiches on offer with all the other stuff you want to keep you going on a ride. Reasonably priced and they accept card payments.

An absolute pleasure to return here!
Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Also, many places to leave your bike in sight from the cafe.
Staff is always pleasant friendly and helpful.
The menu is classic but very good value and staff are knowledgeable and very happy to adapt stuff for dietary requirements. The food came quickly even on a busy day and was fresh and tasty.
Beautiful location too!
