Parked on the road leading E out of the village and walked back to the church yard for a wander around. Later drove down to the small car park at the eastern end of the peninsular for a more interesting walk around the end. With Gillian. | richard69 | 15/01/2023 |
A short diversion from the A1 on the way north. Parked on the road a little to the east and had a wander around the church. Happily it was open too. | Mark Jackson | 31/07/2022 |

Parked near church before going to see ospreys at Rutland Water. | mart0797 | 29/07/2018 |
Didn't think I'd get this far today but collected hills faster than expected and glad I've visited Rutland Water at last. Interesting to see how the other half live. | Wycombe Wanderer | 17/07/2018 |
Diverted here and walked round the church grounds, whilst on a visit to Oakham. | JohnW | 12/07/2018 |

Wandered round churchyard to various candidates. Nice spot. | Bramley | 16/11/2017 |
Best hill of 4 today, including the Hump, Whatborough Hill. One of the easiest- just a visit to the churchyard. I made a 2 mile walk of it, though, using the footpath (very nettley to start)down to Rutland Water and returning to the village after a walk near the shore. Good sunset over lake. | pwheeler | 30/10/2017 |
Visited en route to Stamford, parked at end of road south of village centre as it was very busy in the centre due to a hot bank holiday. | muzza2 | 28/08/2017 |
With D, Lesley and Peter | callumorr | 08/07/2017 |
Church still having roof repaired. High point may at back (W end) or slight mound to R as one enters churchyard (E end). | Aye Jimmy | 13/05/2017 |
A wander around the church yard and foot path W of flat topped hill. Slight mound W of church tower as high as anywhere. Church probably built on natural high point but closed until July as having roof replaced. A pleasently peaceful village. | RichardM | 28/03/2017 |
Parked near church then had a walk around graveyard. | Dugswell2 | 03/03/2017 |
Wandered all over the churchyard and down the footpath behind the church (currently fenced off and closed due to roof repairs). With Sail & Coel. | Dangerous Dave | 26/02/2017 |
Lovely church and village. High point seemed to be on a small mound to the rear | Colin Crawford | 05/01/2017 |
Around back of church. Fairly dark by the time I arrived. Nice stained glass window lit up from the inside. Found a good spot to camp not far from the reservoir before heading up to Melton for a water vole survey the next day. | Herbert Anchovy | 20/07/2016 |
As for RHW. | arranc | 22/05/2016 |
Seven summits total from Oakham train station by bicycle with DTL. 33 miles, 2,120ft ascent total. 
Shattering bike ride out from Oakham after long day but worth it - lovely little village and fascinating! Presumed summit by church. | Fionalevey | 24/02/2016 |
Great place to finish a long day on mountain bike. 7 tops 33 miles and 2100' of ascent. Lovely village. Top seems to be at back of church. | trimarc2 | 24/02/2016 |
High point north west of church. Almost a SIB. | ngthack | 10/02/2016 |
Solo, back of church. | simon and co | 13/10/2015 |
Amazing little village in the middle of Rutland Water. According to my GPS receiver the top was on a footpath behind the church which runs alongside a posh looking kennel business. Great views to be had just a few metres down the path. | timday | 17/09/2015 |
With my wife & daughter. Parked adjacent to grassy triangle at the front of church. Several spots in churchyard are possible candidates for the summit; think a small hump at the back is highest, but bagged them all to be sure. Had hoped for better views than we got. | wheresthepath | 16/08/2015 |
Interesting little wander through the churchyard and along the narrow snaking footpath that leads west from the back of the churchyard. | vegibagger | 25/07/2015 |
Almost like an island in Rutland Water | Mark Sims | 20/05/2015 |
On way home from a Corby visit. Easy diversion off road heading for A1.Round back of church, parking to back. | nordicstar | 18/03/2015 |
Nice village, went round the back of the church. | Adrian | 27/09/2014 |
Went to Hambleton Hall for dinner and 'ticked' this off on the way. | Cap_Thunderbolt | 19/05/2014 |
Sheeba, Biscuit (Her black labrador) and i, parked up in Hambleton before starting a19.1 mile Walk around the whole of Rutland water. I Walked around the edge of the churchyard to bag this hill. One aspect of this village is How dark it is at night. Good job i had a head torch! | Dazingdale | 08/03/2014 |
