Clipsham Walks
This walk explores the lovely Yew Tree Avenue in the Rutland village of Clipsham.
You can park at the car park on the eastern side of the woods and then follow the tree lined path west towards Clipsham Hall. It's a pleasant and peaceful trail with attractive topiary next to the Yews. There's also an information board with some history about the avenue and the village.
To continue your woodland walking in the area head a few miles north to Colsterworth to visit Twyford Wood.
To the south there's the highlight of the county at the expansive Rutland Water where there are miles of splendid waterside walking and cycling trails.
