The countryside around Elderflower Cottage if wonderful for walking and exploring. Dotted every so often with a cosy pub or inn you can always find somewhere to take a break during your travels.
Stamford is 2.5 miles away and Rutland Water is just under 8 miles. Lots of local rights of way are well linked and pass by many acres of well maintained and more rustic woodland.
Discover Rutland gives lots of tips and advice for walkers in the local area.
Enjoy!
