We are the Rutland Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We set off eastward on a bit of the Jubilee Way. A steepish climb to start with up a nice grassy bank, with views of Belvoir Castle. We then pick up a short section of the Viking Way, dropping down to the Grantham Canal. There’s then a nice easy stroll along the towpath as far as Harlaxton Wharf. We then double back along field edges to circle Denton Reservoir, and then into Denton village. A short road section takes us onto the old disused railway line running north/north westwards. It’s then a matter of retracing our steps back up the hill and over the other side to the start point - and pub!
A few stiles in total near start and finish.
Dogs on a short lead please
Decent underfoot for the most part
There will be the usual lunch and refreshment stops.
Please consider car sharing arrangements with other members to reduce the pressure on parking spots at the start of the walk.
In the event of severe weather, please contact the leader on the day of the walk to check the walk is still on.
Meet outside Chequers Inn on Main Street, Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir (Park with consideration for residents on Main Street please)
