Looking for a reason to get outside? Our heritage

Looking for a reason to get outside? Our heritage trails offer the chance to explore Rutland’s history while enjoying the fresh air!

Forests, Monks & Pagans – Braunston & Brooke

Step into centuries of mystery on this trail through Braunston and Brooke. Wander paths that were once part of the vast Royal Forest of Leighfield, a royal hunting ground after the Norman Conquest. Along the way, spot the haunting Sheela na Gig carved into Braunston’s parish church and explore Brooke Priory, where Augustinian canons lived. Follow quiet country lanes and field paths as you uncover hidden stories, peaceful countryside views and centuries of heritage at every turn.

Mysterious Mazes & Vanished Villages – Wing, Manton & Preston

Explore one of Rutland’s most intriguing heritage routes. Begin at the ancient Wing Maze, one of England’s few surviving turf mazes, whose origins may date back centuries. Along the way, glimpse Lyndon Hall’s stone archway, rolling fields, quiet rivers and the hidden heritage of Rutland’s countryside, making every step a journey through time.

Canals, Castles & Forgotten Villages – Market Overton, Whissendine & Langham

Our final Heritage Trail winds through several villages where history hides in every lane and field. Begin at Market Overton’s medieval green, then follow quiet paths past the vanished Oakham–Melton canal, WWII pillboxes, and the Norman motte of Alstoe Mount. Pause at Langham’s 13th-century parish church before tracing the subtle imprints of vanished villages, inviting walkers to imagine the lives and stories that shaped this corner of Rutland.

Did you know?

The famous “peasant poet” John Clare worked as a lime burner in Great Casterton and Pickworth during the early 1800s. Perhaps his well-known poem Winter Walk was inspired by the winter landscapes of Rutland. ❄️

Winter Walk - John Clare

The holly bush, a sober lump of green,
Shines through the leafless shrubs all brown and grey,
And smiles at winter be it e’er so keen
With all the leafy luxury of May.
And O it is delicious, when the day
In winter’s loaded garment keenly blows
And turns her back on sudden falling snows,
To go where gravel pathways creep between
Arches of evergreen that scarce let through
A single feather of the driving storm;
And in the bitterest day that ever blew
The walk will find some places still and warm
Where dead leaves rustle sweet and give alarm
To little birds that flirt and start away.
